I saw my Rheumatologist yesterday and he said he wants me to stay on 5 for about 2 months, then go to 4 for a couple of months, etc.. if the pain stays away keep tapering, but much slower than last time.

@floridabonnie Sounds like a good plan. Praying it works for you. Slow and easy does it.

After reading several posts, I am going to go down by .5 .
I am at 6.5 now. Will go to 6 and then to 5.5. The Mayo posts have made me understand the necessity of very slow tapering and also Not overdoing activity.
