Ok thanks for this. My Neurologist wanted me to start tapering 2.5 mg every other week. I cannot do it (which is a 1/2 a 5 mg. pill). We don't have 2.5 mg pills here. This week it's going to be down 1.25 (not 2.5), so 1/4 of a pill less. Would rather try the slower taper. I have to work in the mornings, so a migraine all night long and waking up with a migrane is not conducive to good work. I hope the Neurologist gets it. I feel ya. Take good care.

I have had no covid vaccines --- none --- PMR 1st round started end of September 2021 -- I had the temple artery biopsy / negative --- RA specialist put me on Methotrexate 2.5 mg / 8 pills one day a week while reducing prednisone. My prednisone regiment at the beginning was 40 mg when PMR first started -- January 2022, I started reducing pred dosage due to sugar levels out the roof --- as of 5/1/22, I was at 5 mg of prednisone and I have stopped the prednisone -- I couldn't handle the no energy - wanting to sleep and foggy / cloudy thinking ----- still on Methotrexate but I'm done with prednisone --- If PMR flares up again then I'll go back on prednisone ------ As of 5/8/22 --- ENERGY coming back ---- foggy and cloudy thinking has cleared up ------ So far ----- so good !!!
