Good Luck! I also was started on 60 mg almost 1 year ago. I could hardly believe that I felt like a new creation in less that 24 hours. I am currently on 6 mg each morning. On March 1 will decrease to 5 mg using the dead slow, nearly stop protocol. When I get to new dose every day I will check with my rheumatologist and we will decide if I should remain on the lower (5mg) for a week (or more) prior to
decreasing to 4 mg. I will keep you posted on my progress. Thanks again for this opportunity to share good stories and some of those
problems that seem to "come and go."
