    Hi Mary

    I hope you are feeling ok today. Just a quick note. I know it can be confusing when you are trying to reduce the pred. I have to make out a chart with all the dates on it and which dose I have to take on each day (like a mini calendar). The days when I have to take a lower dose are highlighted. I keep this 'blue tacked' to the wall in the kitchen right under the shelf where I keep the tablets. Otherwise, I would never be able to remember when to take what! Hope this is helpful. Take care, Debbie
