Aching from the most minor of exercise

Sorry that exercise has been hard for you.
I taper a .5 mg every 2 weeks, it seems to work for me. Maybe try that?
My daughter is correct in saying that there are no heroics in pain. Maybe drop to 4.5 mg in a week and see if that works.
The other adage that applies - "Slow and steady wins the race".
Good luck!

Hi!
What’s that other exercise saying “ no pain, no gain”lol. Not really that good for PMR, but exercise is still good for you— just whatever you can tolerate, everyone is different! I think if you have access to a pool that is the best— less resistance in water, easier to move!
Take care and good luck!

Do you not get flares by dropping .5mg every two weeks? I thought that was too fast. I'd sure like to drop that way. I was told to stay at the same dose for a month. I'm really curious as to how you feel. Love this site to get others' ideas and answers.
