I'm off to Maine, down to .5mg pred and holding....

[Grammy80]

I've been on just .5mg since May 18 and so far, so good. I saw my rheumatologist on the 7th of this month, and we agreed that I would stay at this dosage until I return from my trip on June 25. I have an appointment to see him in 8 weeks. I will continue taking the Actemra weekly, I'm good with that. My husband will be looked after by his son. He is now on Aricept, and I'm sure this will be my last trip for some time. That really isn't such a bad thing since I have long passed the age of 30, 40, or even 50. All that goes along with traveling is tiring, a bit more so than I remember!! Being able to spend time with my friends has good endorphins lending a hand.

I just thought I'd offer an update on my tapering before I 'leave town' tomorrow morning. I'm flying non-stop and even treated myself to first class for comfort. My best to all💞✈️

I"m back....in one piece...just a flight cancellation and then I got rerouted to New York City with plenty of people to watch ~!!! while I waited.💞

[DorsetLady PMRGCAuk volunteer in reply to Grammy80]

Great to hear you had a good time… and people watching can be very entertaining at times…😏

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to DorsetLady]

The whole point of sitting outside the village cafe - especially in tourist season!!!

[DorsetLady PMRGCAuk volunteer in reply to PMRpro]

Oh yes.. 😊

[Grammy80 in reply to DorsetLady]

Very.....I don't get the chance to see people with pink hair down past their butt too often in Indiana...."Not that there is anything wrong with that!" (I think folks could tell I was no city slicker)💞

[Grammy80 in reply to PMRpro]

I was so good it was borderline boring....NO, it was wonderful to be around old friends...old in every way~!!💞
