I have spent a week alternating between 0.5 mg and 0 mg and this morning I decided to continue for another week.
I am feeling a lot of muscular pain (nothing like the PMR pain), my right hand is so painful I can hardly hold a toothbrush and I had to cancel my Pilates lesson today. My left foot (with a dropped arch where I tore my ligaments eight years ago) is also feeling worse for wear and while my shoulder is holding up, the muscles in my arms lower down are hurting. I am also waking up tired and occasionally with a slight headache.
I know that this is all the consequence of my adrenals needing to work harder and some exercises I did a couple of days ago, as well as the pain that was always there, hidden by the smallest dose of Prednisolone, but I decided to postpone the next step (1 day on 0.5 mg and 2 days on 0) until sometime next week.
My philosophy has always been to take the next step once I feel fine on the current one, so why change now.
