I keep cracking the whip, but no one seems to be responding! New shipment
of cigars and bourbon waiting on deck!
I have noticed the forum has really slowed down. There were actually 2 days
where there were no posts at all. Is there something wrong with the server
or are people not posting? Just wondering... missing people!
I am actually doing very well. I cut from 17.25 to 15 mg 5 days ago with no
ill-effects! Really even only had a little achiness and 1 day of fatigue! If this
continues through my Thanksgiving sugar allowance I will go to 12.5 mg.
Off to work...
pgrI've been away. It was bonfire night on 5 November (when we burn an
effigy of the man who tried to blow up parliament and let off loads of
fireworks). The fireworks terrify my dog, so I took him and me off to the
depths of the country.
Took the opportuniy to drop from 3mg to 2.5mg (alternating doses for a
week and the on to the lower dose). I't's best if I do that when I'm not
around other people as I always feel as if it would take very little to
reduce me to tears. I'm told I take on a very negative pessimistic mood
about a week after a drop, and that it lasts about a week. I think I'm just
coming out the other end of it.
best wishes

Hey pgr555 and Margaret! I was beginning to think my last post had run all of you off. Maybe?
About the cigars and bourbon...I'd like a cigar for my DH and a little of the bourbon for myself. Ahhhh...
DebJ, Welcome to the aft deck for a nip of bourbon. I'll give you a cigar for your DH (what's a DH?)
What's a "DH"? Depends on the mood . It can either be "Dear Husband" or "Damn Husband". Like I said...depends.
By the way, Bob, I sent you a PM a couple of days ago but had trouble with my computer and realize it probably didn't go through. I was asking about upping Pred dosage for a trip. I did a "search" and saw you did this a while back. I want to "up" my dosage from 10 mg. to 12.5 mg. for a week long trip. Do I only take 12.5 mg. for that week or continue for a whole month and lower by 1 mg. each month till I"m back to where I began? Dang! That confused me to read!
Good to hear some of you are managing to reduce your dosage. I have been here all along, just too mentally and physically TIRED to do anything, including use the keyboard. Passing the bourbon and cigs to Deb... Catch!BOB...am hoping to average about 10 mg./mile but if we get into rough terrain, I'm expecting 12.5 mg/mile. Sound about right to you?
DebJ, Sounds about right. Don't forget a double shot of bourbon every two hours. It probably won't help the stiffness but you won't care! Safe trip.
