Below 5mg

Posted , 17 users are following.

Ive been on preds for about 5 years and have finally got to my target of 5mg and feel over the moon.

Its been a rough journey with many relapses along the way.

My new target is now to reduce further but each reduction will now be a greater percentage.

What is the best method of doing this please as I dont want any relapses if I can help it and set myself back as at 5 mg I feel is a great accomplishment.

Thank you so much

    I too just got down to 5mg. after 15 months.I will stay on this dose but maybe in a month I will go down 1/4 since I have learned in the past that jumping too much at a time makes me relapse with horrible & crippling pain in 2 days so my body lets me know loud & clear if it's ready for a lower dose. Best wishes !
