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.
Go for 0 !

I’m doing exactly the same. Currently at 7.5, tapering into 7.
I know everyone is different, but how did you do in the 7 towards 6 range? I’m going on a big trip abroad when that is supposed to happen and wonder about staying at 7 because of adrenal “wake up” symptoms during that time period.
