Hello!
Do we have new smilies? :flapper: :biggrin1:
I'm currently on 10mg of pred at the moment, the dose goes down every 3 months by 2.5mg so next week it will go down to 7.5mg. I wondered if you guys thought it would be ok to lower the dose a week earlier? (so 11 weeks instead of 12 weeks).
My reason for this is pure vanity as I'm going to a wedding and wanted what remains of my moon face to be completely gone by then :biggrin1: I feel silly bothering my doctor to ask him this because it's not important...and I'm not sure what he'd say- he's new because my other doctor has left and I neither think he's familiar with Wegeners or the treatment- he asked me what meds I'm on the one time I saw him.
The schedule is reducing the preds every 3 months only because of the trial protocal - I'm on a cyclophosamide vs. another med trial.
Thanks x
