@bettsgca It is very much illogical. The more I try to understand it. I am at 2mg scheduled to go down to 1.5mg. However, the pain is increasing but I do not want to go back up. I don't know if irrational but I don't want to have GCA polymyalgia rheumatica is enough

Why does it get hard at this stage? I feel your "pain" - not really as my pain is minor compared to the postings I have read. I feel fortunate when I compare all the problems people are having. I have a rheumatologist and have since I was diagnosed. I don't understand having to be on a waiting list.....is that in another country? I send messages to my doctor and she always responds quickly. I count my blessings.
How long have you been on 2mg? I have extended my step downs from every 3 weeks to 4 weeks now. Pain kicks in about week 2 on a step down, then usually week 3 things straighten out- but not this time. Keep me posted on how you are doing......sending you hope that you can continue tapering and not go up.
