Hi, John,
Thanks for your backup here. 8>) I haven't figured out an easy way to include a link here.

Hi John ... I checked that site out good info there. I wanted to see if you have any suggestions on this: if I go back to 20 mgs...what should be the next dose? For the first step down? My rheum does 5 mg down after 2 weeks, then again to 10 mg 2 weeks later.
Then after 2 weeks down to 5 mg. Then much slower. BUT my symptoms have never fully cleared hence all this mishigas. The worst symptoms did clear ...my hands which were THE worst ever... but then the more typical symptoms rang thru and now are a bigger issue. So....not to state the obvious but 10 which is where I was until recently (2nd time at that dose) was worse than the 15...makes sense...but still the symptoms are pretty bad. So....do I hang at 15 go to 20. That is what I need to figure out and get with my rhrum or her PA. I think the hardest thing is how cleared up should the symptoms be before reducing. 100%? Oy. My brain cells hurt and it's not that giant cell thing...
..lol. anyway thanks for all of your help. Mickie.
Be well.
