Tapering off can be challenging. I am fortunate I have a Doctor who works with me, his philosophy is I know my body better than he does. So we dovetail his medical knowledge and my sense of what my body needs to do next. I hope that makes sense because I know it seems a bit loopy. So what we have come up with, which is working at the moment is, if the pain is not in the areas that I normally experience PMR then stay with the dose I am on and support with Tylenol. If that works and I am then pain-free continue that for a while. Then I’ll do the alternating days like 4 mg 3 mg 4 mg for one month or less. I realize that this protocol might be not acceptable by other medics but am fortunate to have a doctor that supports this philosophy.
