So I was flying on 10 mg in November, and at 55 years old and ill since 2018 I thought I was finally in remission - really I believed I was 100% will again, juuuust needed to get out of prednisolon. In January I dropped down to 7,5 mg (we might as well see, the new Rhemy said). He was not too sure - as I was.
It went so well - until it didn't... So the past 3-4 weeks, symptoms crepes in on me, including jaw pain when I eat. I have been SO angry. But at least my Dexa scan and Cholesterol are OK, the latter being a bit high, but so is my HDL- very high (the good cholesterol), so I guess that can even it out?
I tryed to take 10 mg during the weekend, and what a relief.
My plan is to ask the rheumy for an Ultrasound of the neck/jaw to check for GCA (I was never diagnosed/checked before) and then suggest to go back on 10 mg and slowly start tapering again after 2 weeks - maybe dead slow this time, as I do tolerate prednisolone quite well.
What do you think?
