How does your rheumy feel about your reducing? I had a very puzzling reaction from mine the last time I reduced. He told me to "Never reduce unles he told me to. That's too fast!" Of course, the last time I saw him he wanted me down to that level and I argued that the drop was too much. We compromised on an in-between level. That went well and I went ahead and dropped to what I thought was the target. Apparently, I got it wrong. Or he's gone senile on me, that's possible too.

Don't see a rheumy as the ones in my area are not well-thought-of. My GP is great - listens and works with me. I see him on Tuesday as a follow-up to how I did on that taper I discussed with him. However, this forum is more educated about PMR than he is, so advice here is valuable and appreciated. Thanks for your reply.
