PMR, Prednisone, Taper, Stupidity
Posted , 6 users are following.
i was so pleased with myself for "figuring out" how to judge my pain, etc. in a taper! After 24 months I was working on the 7m slow, slow taper, using Tylenol too...and it got away from me in the night!
hooe I have caught it with a 9m dose. The baffling part is that if I had read my notes more thoroughly and had listened more attentively to the advice on this forum I would have stopped this taper before the 10 day mark! In reviewing my notes I also noticed that LAST MARCH, 2015 I had been at 7m for 6 weeks before attempting a 6m taper (before I knew about the 1/2m taper).
hooe I caught this flare or, obviously I will be starting all over!
You are right, Eileen, the PMR is the run-away train, I am just the driver!☹️

I will wait 1 month to attempt the 1/2 reduction.

with every PMR issue.....It gets to be a real pain....do whatever works
for you. If I could get down to below l0 I would take a looonnnngggggg
time to reduce and since I'm 79 years old I may just stay at what
is good for me....

Interesting thread. So here's my question:
I can't find the original document of Eileens that disusses the slow taper method, but how long are we supposed to "hold" after attaining a new level before we begin tapering again?
Thanks all

I believe the reduction plan can be found through this site but I've found the easiest way to find it is to google healthunlocked dead slow nearly stop.
