Reduction
Posted , 10 users are following.
I have been doing really well reducing from 10mg to 9mg in what i call the first phase of reducing, but yesterday i noticed my hips,ankles,and neck gave me some trouble, this morning when i woke up i was shaking, but i also put this down to reducing, i am going into the second phase which i see i will have more days at 9mg, I know this question might have been answered before, but when i get to 9mg do i stay there for a while, or start reducing to 8mg straight away.
Yesterday i managed to do one and half miles walk in the sunshine, and then stopped at a little pub for a drink, we even sat outside it was so lovely.
Hope you all can have a good day.

Was that actually a 3 mile walk then? If so, and depending on how far you usually walk, it may have been a bit to much.
I was away for a couple of days and walked a few kms each day and also lugged a suitcase around. When I got home I was totally exhausted, achy and had a very sore lower back which I rarely have. It took me 2 days of rest and I'm back to "normal" and didn't need to change my dose of pred. I am also using the DSAS method with one more week at 10mg reducing to 9mg. I will try after a week at 9mg to begin the next decrease to 8mg and see how it goes. After that I'll decrease 1/2mg at a time.
Enjoy the sunshine, it always makes you feel better🌻🌼🌞.
Hugs, Diana🌸
