What a difference half a mg makes! | Arthritis Information

Hi all,
I've been whinging about the flare-up I've had for about 6 weeks now. I was taking 13.5mg prednisolone on alternate days before and doing fine. I'd tried going down a bit (to 13mg) unsuccessfully and then the flare set in. I eventually gave in and upped the dose to 15, then 16mg and finally 17mg. It was so-so, liveable with but not great.

Two or three days ago I decided to take 17.5mg as that means all enteric coated pills and I'd had a bit of stomach discomfort with taking some uncoated tabs to get the dose.

What a difference!! Two days of feeling pretty good, much less back discomfort (I won't grace it by describing it as pain)!
