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.

I started on 10 mg 1 year ago (this is my 3rd episode of PMR) and was doing really well. Tittered very slowly to 5 mg then alternate days 5/4 then 4/3 for a month each time. 3mg seemed to be my tipping point plus stress and over-exertion. this forum is very supportive and informative - as a retired massage therapist I need reminding of how to take care of myself lol!
