I have been taking prednisalone for 4 weeks now and 2 weeks ago was put back on 15mg and told to reduce by 1mg each week and see how it goes. When I gt the pain back I am to go back on the previous weeks dosage. Well, today was down to 13mg and have started to feel a huge differance. It is not so much pain but a clunking and ache in the hip joint right in my backside!! I have been finding it difficult without feeling it pinching, Aso my knee has been giving me hassle all day. So back up to 14mg tomorow I think. I know this feeling from the last time I had my dosage reduced, the second day, which would be tomorow was living hell as I had all the aches the first day like today with the pain on top. I'll probably take 1mg tonight before bed so I am not up all night with it.
Unfortunately for me 13 was not my lucky number, I'll make do with 14 and be done with it!

    Hi Bailey

    You sound stuck at 14mg :(
    I hope you don't suffer too much tomorrow for the reduction (maybe you smeaked the extra mg in? :wink: )
    Only you know you!
    take care

    lol :)

    Yes, 1mg just slipped its way between my cup of tea and ginger nut. Dont know how on earth it got there! lol

    Stuck at 14 for the time being. I dont mind so long as I am pain free and getting my life back I could be on 20mg if I had to. 14mg seems to be just right for me though!

    Hi Bailey,

    My tablets sometimes miraculously find them selves taken as well from time to time :wink: I think we know what works and we have this 'odd' accident if they try to get us down in counting how many we take :lol: i hope the 14 does the trick and next time you can come down with out any problems. Take care Cris x
