Hi my friends,

I decided to drop from 23 1/2 by 1 mg, to 22 1/2 ,had 3 /4 days where I felt rough again, but decided to stick it out as it could be withdrawal rather than the return of P.M.R.

As it happens I am feeling so much better, I even managed to wash my kitchen floor today, I am so pleased with myself, how sad is that!!

I even feel like me again,though almost afraid to say so in case I jinx it all.

Next drop will be a half , as I really want to get off these steroids as soon as, but realise it is going to be a long journey.

Just wanted to share this with you, as you have all given me hope, which at one point I really felt that this is it for the rest of my life.

Your stories have been a boon to me.

I see your struggles , & realise they are mine too.together we will overcome this awful condition, & come out the other side stronger.

That is my hopes & wishes for us all.

Love Amycakes.
