Thanks for your feedback. Staying objective is certainly the most optimal direction to go. I'm a little challenged in the area of emotional reactivity. For the most part , I'm glad to have joined the Mayo PMR club. The encouragement is awesome.

Good morning,
Am on the reduction plan and begins Friday from 18 to 15 and had started with 20mgs, so it's finding that sweet spot, we probably are hoping to find. Since prednisone at least at this dose my blood pressure is pretty erratic,
High early morning, after my 1 or 2 mile walk it's normal range, mid-afternoon it's pretty much on the low side and I feel like a nap is a good idea. Of course hoping to wake up from that nap....just kidding. Been working, but don't get a lot accomplished. Working on a dose of blood pressure meds to help stabilize that condition. Beginning 3rd week Friday at 15mg. Tails of a journey.
