Two weeks or one week at each level?

Nightly, every third night off, every other night, every third night

What are you recommending?

Use them every second night for at least 2 weeks.....if all remains well, then every third night.

Should I do two nights with enemas, then a third without, for two weeks before I go to every other night?

No....do an enema one night, skip, enema, skip, enema. skip for at least 2 weeks.

'If all is fine, do enema, skip, skip, enema, skip, skip....etc. Stay at this taper for a long time...maybe a few months.

At that rate I'll hopefully be at every third day by the time of my next GI appointment. That's what he wanted me to be on this whole time because these things are so darn "expensive" I'm glad I didn't drag him in on this taper. He'd be gunning for 6 mp or pred probably.

Thanks Q
