Aha. That's interesting that it took so little to get back to painfree. I'll try similar to what worked for you and try to land on 8.5mg instead of 9. I have three weeks before the doc's appointment to try it out. She may not be happy about me making a slight increase instead of decrease, but will have to settle for the explanation. Going to lift to 9.5mg for two days from tomorrow and see how I go.
