Hi Tracey, maybe you're not quite in remission yet. A few years ago, I experienced agonising pain in my ribcage which made it very difficult to breathe. A late night trip to A&E in an ambulance, a shot of pred & an overnight stay in hospital & I was fit as a fiddle. We had a change of med & it never came back. I think some doctors are a bit too keen to get you off the meds before your body is ready to go it alone. What were you taking before you were weaned off? John

Hi Tracey, just a thought but get your GP to check about your bones. Preds regardless of the dose can effect them, it seems especially in women. Good luck.
