On 1/17 I started a 12 day course of pred starting at 60mg a day and tapering to 10mg at day. By the end of the 12 day course the ch was back, however, not as intense or as frequent. Neuro then put me back on pred for 15 days starting at 20mg for 5 days 10mg for 5 days 5 mg for 5 days. Woke with one this am. But, like I said, shorter and not as intense. I'm not complaining. I know things could get worse, and I agree, you do get to the point that you just need a damn break. Mine have been going pretty strong since Nov. 2001 and I've pretty much had it with this crap. Thanks for letting me vent.
PF and good luck.
