I'M SCARED!... Aspergillus Fumigatus?

Anybody else going on Prednisolone, just be wary of when you have to taper off the stuff, it MUST be very gradual.

That's an understatement! I've been on low dose prednisone for just under 2 years. The stuff's a beast. Took me a year to drop from 10mg to 5mg a day. I can't seem to get below 5mg for more than a week or two before my arthritis flares uncontrollably

I need one of those shirts! Glad you're tapering off. Good luck!

My dad's been tapering for three years, by 0.5 mg per month. He's down to 1.5 mg/day. Any faster gave him all kinds of trouble.

Thank goodness I popped onto the site this evening.

I was beginning to think it was me, last week gone down from 2mg every 2 days to 1 mg on Thursday and all the aches and pains and spots at my age.

Half of me is so excited to get back into cycling, rode 3 miles today. Am currently sorting out our Team for this Years London Bikeathon but deep down I don't feel up to any of it.

Am so pleased to have read your recent posts, I am getting there, just a little bit longer.

Gotta be OK, 'cos I have set myself a target of our Team raising over £10,000 for Leukaemia Research.......I guess we all have to have our little pipe dreams.

My thanks again.
