Hi if its any comfort i had a complete meltdown 3 months ago unbearable pain i was on 8mg I had to go back up to 10mg for 2 wks then 9 mg for 2 wks then 8 mg for 6 weeks this Saturday I drop to 7mg for 4 wks then drop 1 mg every 4 weeks till hopefully get of them altogether
But I am also on methotrexate these will take over from the presidelone since I seen the consultant and he seems to think I don't have pmr but rheumatoid athritist it's a totally different ball game I now have go through a series of tests for lungs heart liver kidneys I have to also have a Mir scan and get my BLOODS DONE every 2weeks it's turned into a nightmare but the important thing is that I remain totally positive and the future looks promising I don't know what the outcome is going to be but hey ho I'm still alive and kicking and that's all that really matters I do feel for because people don't understand how bad the pain can be so it's it's nice to speak to people who can understand what your going through I'm a great believer there's light at the end of the tunnel just keep believing and you make a full recovery good luck and take care 👍
