You are so right. I had to go up a level to feel some relief. Not total, but some. Have now reduced back to a level (2 mg) where there had been no pain before flare. Now there still is some stiffness but tolerable.

Sorry you're having trouble. Most of us know the frustration of doing all that careful reduction work then having a flare of pain/inflammation come back. It stinks doesn't it. Are you reducing by 1mg each time even at that low dose, or are you doing .5mg reductions or less?
