Hello my name is Beryl, Rolandhp.....I have had PMR for a long time and in Sicily for the winter, yes I know what a place to be on the slopes of Etna with all its carrying on at the moment .....we have sure had a different time with the bangs and shakes ....fortunately we are still in one piece and it has been quiet for a couple of days ......we just wait with baited breath ......
I really does help reading others experiences with pred. and it's obvious from what you read that we are all different and have to judge , with the guidance of our Doctors of course .....what and how much is good for us .....we all want to get off it but mustn't go down too fast .....I am at the stage where I have been told not to go lower than three , but I can go up if needed, so I wait and hope that the day may come where I can start to lower again slowly......all the best of luck with your recovery......Beryl
