Doctoring

I have been seeing my rheumatologist once every two months. Starting In February, the doctor had me on 5 mg of prednisone per day. Next visit it was cut to 2.5 mg, than to 1.5 mg. Today, after our visit it was suggested that it to be cut to 1 mg per day, one month later to .5 mg. and then discontinue. The prednisone is to relieve my stiffness from polymaligia rheumatica. I have been having less stiffness as the months pass. It is a strange condition that makes you feel better when laying down or sitting. The longer you are a quiet the more stiffness when you begin to move. It is not take the disease for those who are a bit lazy. I am doing well.
