Hello Nantjjj
I think that's very sensible to consider staying on 17.5 to get you through the travelling period which although can be good for lifting one's morale, can also put stress on someone even without PMR so not good when trying to reduce especially when those adrenal glands (suppressed by the steroids) are not able to up their usual production of cortisol (natural steroid) to cope wth any additional stress! Many of us on the UK site always 'clear the decks' during the week or so we anticipate reducing.....we do nothing but the essentials to give the body time to adjust to taking away some of its artificial steroid. Good luck with the rheumy today and do let us know how you get on.
