PMR flare without a dose reduction

Hi @mild835, my rheumatologist told me to advise him of any changes in my symptoms when I started to taper and go back to the previous dosage for a couple of weeks, then try the taper again. The schedule may be good for your Rheumatologist, but not so great for you. We're all different and our bodies don't always react according to plan.

Thanks for this. I decided to drop down 1/2 mg. for a couple of weeks and then maybe the drop to 12. Feel more comfortable doing it this way. She was not the most "congenial" Rheumatologist and even though her reviews are terrible, I decided to go in with an open mind. She lived up to the reviews. I don't see her for another 3 months, so time to shop around. Take care.
