Sound like a good idea; hope it goes better the next time and you feel better soon.

Once my dad got below 10 mg, we started dropping by 1 mg. Then we floundered at around 7 mg and started dropping by half a mg. Then we got stuck at 6 mg. He had a flare and we went to 6.25 mg and that worked. So our next step will be to go to 6 mg again.

I think it’s common once you get into single digits to slow the roll because we’re cutting back by a larger proportion of the total dose.

Wishing you all the best.
