Prednisolone came down to fast

[Petertaffy]

Hi everyone, I tried unsuccessfully to taper down from 10mg to 8mg and like Dorsetlady said it was too big a drop. And she was right I tried saying that I will get over the severe aches and pains to no avail I had to go back to 10mg.Thank you for reading my small note.

Glad to have helped (even though wish it hadn’t been the case) so more slowly this time around 😊..

A learning experience!

[Petertaffy in reply to PMRpro]

Oh yes won't be so silly next time thank you PMRpro.

My gosh I can’t even drop 1mg let alone 2mg. My option is 0.5mg if below 10mg!

[Petertaffy in reply to piglette]

Be more careful next time piglette thank you.

[piglette in reply to Petertaffy]

🤣🤣🤣

Ditto Piglette, 0.5mg every five weeks, assuming all goes well, if it doesn't feel right don't start next taper until you are happy.

We have all done it, it is hard to be so patient. Good luck next time, slowly, slowly…..

[Petertaffy in reply to SheffieldJane]

Thanks for your reply, yes I certainly will be careful SheffieldJane.

Hi Petertaffy! Yes, you are not alone in thinking I feel fine, drop down another couple of mgs. PMR holds the reins on this journey. Slow , slow, and even more slow! Unfortunately we all have to make a mistake to realise the situation. Keep strong. We will win!

Thanks very much for your lovely reply Gossiplady! Good to know we are all in the same boat
