Thanks for responding Jeff. I didn’t feel so much pain when I was on 5. I think it might have started when I dropped to 4. I think I’ll give the split dose a shot for a week or so. If not I may request, as much as I hate to, go up to 5 again. Thanks again for your input. So glad for this group.

I agree with a Jeff…on everything.
I also see too fast taper. I was told not more than 10%, stay at that dose until pain free at least a week.
Doing a daily journal of pain level, meds, and exercise was most helpful.
I am 79 yo female and also exercise at your level. I could not achieve that for a long time. I found pushing the exercise while in pain, did not give my body a chance to relax and recuperate with the PMR. Try less impactful like pool walking & exercises.
