I am sitting on my boyfriend's computer, on a Sunday morning typing up this message. I am currently on 30 mg of prednisone, dropping to 20 mg tomorrow morning. I am amazed that I have come this far without losing both my mind and my boyfriend LOL! From 120 mg of prednisone that is a HUGE accomplishment!! I am sure that from here on out the drops will be slower paced (will be dropping by 5 mg doses til I hit 10...my maintaince dose) and probably not as often as I have been, but the rough ride is almost over!! I am just about done with this nonsense!! Thank goodness! It has been a struggle emotionally and PHYSICALLY...and it will continue to be as I wean down the last little bit...but I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel! WAHOO!! It has really helped that my "man" has been so patient with me...really understanding my limits and respecting them...something that hasn't happened for me in the past...I think he's a keeper ;-)
