Thanks. I wish I had a GP. He retired end of Nov. 2021. Prior to this he referred me to a Neurologist, who I talk with sporadically and actually saw him in person last week. I think the pain scale while weaning is a good idea, although he didn't suggest that. Just brought it back down to 15 mg. for the last 4 days. Hip flexor pain has started up again, with the right one giving out occasionally. Legs are extremely tired. Nevertheless, it's manageable. My GP blamed my earlier symptons (back in August/September) on old age and the fact that my hand was going numb and looked like a claw. Finally, he sent me for some blood work for RA (because I insisted) and the CRP was 33.6. It's very difficult to get in to see a specialist of any kind here in Nova Scotia, so I guess that's why the Neurologist. I was never diagnosed until January '22. The weaning will continue. His suggestion is 2.5 mg down every couple of weeks. I think this is probably a little ambitious, but will try it. If it's too much, I'll bump it back up a notch. Had blood work done yesterday and it will be interesting to see where my levels are since February. I think the weaning process is very much something which is different for each of us. My life has changed, but at least I've gotten a lot of it back. Pros and cons of Prednisone.
