Hello lovely and kind people. I need a little bit of advice/guidance, please.
I’ve reduced, for the 3rd time, to 7mg (been there for a week) after being on 7.5 for six weeks. I have a stiff neck and some shoulder discomfort, as well as some (manageable) groin pain when I wake, all of which (more or less) goes away 2 hours after I’ve taken the Pred. (The same pains were present on 7.5 mg). My question is: would it be beneficial if I took 1 or 2 mg at bedtime then 5mg in the morning. I’m trying to avoid a big jump in dose again.
Also, another (new) issue is that for the past 5/6 weeks, I’ve been experiencing mild aches, heaviness and tightness in my calf muscles (both legs) when walking outside of the house. The Pred does nothing to alleviate this. I am wondering if this is one of the symptoms of adrenals trying to waken up?
Many thank, in advance.
