Guest guest Posted December 29, 2002 Report Share Posted December 29, 2002 HI Teddi, Good luck with the pred reduction. I am down to 5mg now and don't feel too bad apart from grinding my teeth, particularly when I am asleep. Is there much difference between 5mg and 4mg? I too want to get off it completely but my neuro is reluctant to reduce further. Hope you haven't snapped too many heads off! My family are used to me! Take care, Lesley >From: TeddiFromOK@... >Reply-To: OurMyositis >To: OurMyositis >Subject: Re: Zanna--Tenayahh--Vicki --Family Feelings >Date: Sun, 29 Dec 2002 15:06:25 -0600 (CST) > >Hi Sue >The only thing the patch did re: pain was I >couldn't take my pain pills.
