Subject: The Cycle Begins!!!

Hope everyone is doing as well as can be - this is just a vent.

I find this whole process of weaning UNBELIEVEABLE!!!! I am reducing sooooo slow and I am at such low dose and STILL get withdrawals even when I drop by 1mg of prednisolone and have been doing this now for several months. The highest dose I've taken is 25mg which was almost a year ago and for 3 weeks and then another dose of 20mg for 3 weeks and ever since then reducing.

Well, Sunday I dropped down to 2mg BUT here's the interesting thing. I am NOT even on 2mg yet as all I am doing now is preparing my body for it by taking 2mg (Sunday), then 3-3-2- and already yesterday felt a bit yuck. This morning (woke up about an hour ago), I found myself with a headache, my face red as anything and still gets puffy, yeah the moon face has disappeared but why still gets puffy & red with every reduction?!? And not to mention the aches & pains. No wonder I crindge EVERYTIME is time to drop "that 1mg".

Sorry for my vent - but just feel like crying again.

Love, hugs, STRENGTH, faith to all,
Kla
