I really appreciate your post. I thought I was doing so well with tapering but 10 days of high stress (which I “arrogantly” thought I was managing ) showed me the reality of this condition. The body never lies 💞. Increased dose from 3mg to 5 mg and pain went within 5 hrs from 10+ to 1-2. A painful lesson but one I needed to experience 😖

It really is a "live and learn" condition. Stress (good or bad), diet, over-exertion, etc. can set us back. You're fortunate though to be down to 5 mgs. I look forward to that day.
