about a week ago i started a discussion regarding pain in my right eye.

because of this and other pains i increased my pred from 7.5 to 10mg

i have been at this amount now for seven days and feel better, slight pain in eye, neck pain,and pain behind ears .

so do i keep at this for a few more days, then try to reduce again to 9.5mg as i dont want to reduce too quickly as i go to Northumberland in two weeks for a week, so want to be well for that.

The lowest i have got to in five years is 3.5mg than had a reallly bad flare up to ten then.

so fingers crossed.
