It took me 15 months to go from 20mg to 0.5mg. No flares, a little pain.

I've been on 0.5mg for 2 weeks. Don't know if I'm reluctant to quit completely or just scared to!

Next week will be the moment of truth for me.

17 months from 30 to…ZERO on March 1, tapering at 0.5 per month for the last 5.
As with you, no flares, occasional non-PMR pain.
