WOOT! Going good this time "yay" | Arthritis Information

As most know, last time i tried to get off prednisone, my body flaired up entirely and i had some of the worst days of my life on it.

Well, down to 2.5mg and doing super great. Thank God. :)

hi bubbagump.. good to see you are doing well... easy does it.. That is GREAT news, bubbagump! I hope you continue to do well. Maybe last time you tried to go down on pred you were in a flare anyways or about to flare?

Keep us posted.

Go Bubba Go Bubba Go Go Go Bubba!!!!!!!!!!Keep it going, you are doing really well.

Thanks everyone.

I think i figured it out. When i get stressed or excited and overly happy, i flair up. For some reason my emotions have a large thing to do with my flair ups.

So.... this time I am calmly going down on my pred, no stressing and doing a bit of meditation if things start to bug me and so far it has been working.

When i tried last time, there were birthdays coming that i had to shop for etc. so i was stressed out.

So, i have to work with my emotions and learn to not hold them inside anymore. I had a bad childhood, so i learned how to bottle everything, i guess it now goes to flairs, so i have to deal with stress and meditate it out to help myself.

it's a long road, but i will get there :)

I think what you say could apply to a lot of us.. good for you, bubba!!!

I hope you have continued success!

Thanks everyone, i wish well for you too.
