I've been set free

Just returned form my rheumy apt and he has signed me off. I am still on 1 mg but he said some people stay on 1 mg for life. I really thought he was going to give me a hard time. Yay.
I will still be reading these discussions as we are friends for life. Thank you so much for all your help, laughs, guidance and support. You know I couldn't do it without you.
Thank you and happy summer (it is really here).

I think I was on it @ 2 years something. I will try to reduce to zero but not in a hurry. Funnily enough my rhuemy diagnosed it as 'probable' PMR because my blood test was never too high but he agreed 'what else could it be'. I will also try to reduce what I weigh also as I had to get on the scales...yipes. Worst bit. I weigh the same as my 6'2" son.

I stayed on 1 for quite some time and felt rather superstitious about stopping. Went down in very easy stages even from there; pill chopping and alternate daying and finally stopped. No hurry at that point if 1 for life is considered ok.
