Hi every one I have not been on here for a long time . I have been stuck on 10 mg of predisolone for some time and have gained quite a bit of weight over a stone and half so I am trying to come off pred by reducing , in the last three weeks I have tried to reduce by 1mg on the dsns method but I'm quite achy neck shoulders and especially under my bust which is really sore , should I go back to 10 mg as I was kinda ok on 10 or keep on trying with 9 or try to go to 9 1/2 thank you every body in advance

    Some things you could try:

    Reduce by 1/2 mg

    Reduce by 1/4 mg (I’m doing this right now to get to 2 1/2)

    I always use Eileen’s DSNS and sometime I repeat some of the reduction steps.
