Rosemary: That was wonderful advice you gave epvb. Thank you so much as it helps me also. And I am sure others. My heart goes out to all other suffers of Autoimmune illness.

Rosemary’s post was so helpful and gives hope. I’m tapering down from 20mg ... over three months I am now at 8mgs. Told the rheumatologist that I wanted to hasten the tapering and she said OK, fortnightly until you reach 7mg, which will be next Tuesday. After that she wants me to go four weekly tapering, 1mg at a time. Just wondering what Rosemary’s condition was, are we talking PMR, which is my condition.
