Hi All,
Thankyou for all your experiences on here, your advice has helped me loads!
I was back in the gym and doing great workouts from 15mg Pred down to 8mg then onto 7mg when the last flare happened. I did the protocol recommended, added 5mg onto the last 8mg for ten days then back to 8mg. I was ok except for stiff hands and fingers early in the day. Back down to 7mg now and got hit doing a long reduction to 6mg.
Now it's spread to shoulders, knees and toes and a really tough early rising until mid-day ish. Once I get going I'm ok but stiff, especially an old knee injury. I think the knee problem has brought the flare back, as I twisted it coming down some stairs. I overcompensated after and my ankle lower down feels the pain now.
My question is do I use the flare protocol again? or do I add just 2mg gradually until I get back to feeling ok. BTW, am not doing any training at all now, the last flare scared me off.
