Aching from the most minor of exercise

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.

No flares, hope it stays that way.

My Rheumatologist had me taper from 10 to 7.5 a few months ago. I ended up in the emergency room with a terrible headache

I'm at 5.5mg, for the last 3 days, my only complaint is FATIGUE. I do Yoga, walk, and swim (not every day). That and a good diet keep me somewhat pain free.

It may get harder the lower I go, if so, I'll go back up a bit.

Baby steps.
