HI I WAS TAKING 4 MTX EVERY SUNDAY MY NEW RA DOCTOR PUT ME ON 10 PILLS EVERY SUNDAY.....PREDNISONE AND INFORM ME THAT ALSO HAVE FIBROMYAI! Ugggh my feet always hurt and sore itchy. Has anyone experienced crawling feeling no bugs tho ive had this even before being diagnosed with these autoimmune disease. My kids think I've lost it when i tell them bugs are on me...this whole thing is so frustrating and depressing feels like im 80yrs old ..sighh..

May be neuropathy. I have this-- I describe mine as a crawly sometimes burning or numbing sensation. Almost went crazy before it was diagnosed. Was referred to a neurologist. I now take medication that controls it. I'm 69 and have had fibromyalgia for over 20 years, was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis two years ago. I take prednisone when I have RA flares. Take meloxicam for fibro. Have taken several different antiflammatory drugs through the years. So much chronic pain I felt like I could't move. Try finding a neurologist is my suggestion. They will run specific tests and diagnose. Good luck!
