@walkamok I was thinking the same thing.
@nyxygirl taking 30mg, that must have more side effects then? I haven't been pain-free as I was on 15mg to now 12.5mg per day. I will deal with the breakthrough pain though as the other annoying side effects, getting only 5-6 hours sleep, heart pounding after meals and anxiety attacks etc. have lessened quite a bit.
This is so not fun and thanks for the info.

@vellen Your question echoes the topic of the this thread.
Perhaps others @johnbishop / a clinician ? Medical person? would like to chime in here ?
For me the prolonged morning stiffness/pain was too variable for my quality of Life and daily activity goals - I went on Medical Leave. Even working from home could not begin until about 2 pm ! I have (more* ) quickly been tapering 2.5mg/ every 6 days. So May 26 into June has been devoted to this I will get to that lower dose 10mg stage -but with this little blip - in the grand time course of this coming up - not worried about "hi dose side effects at all " *Perhaps @bfh3 could also update us on how he is faring ? I know we were on a similar start date of increasing to 30mg. ( I always think of you now when I mow my FLAT lawn with an electric mower!! : ) I upped @walkamok 's graph and used 2 axes !!! @lizward46 is also in this discussion ( May 31)
