I went on methotrexate but it didn’t agree with me at all, my neurologist tried me on micophenolate of which I’ve been ever since it’s helped me reduce on my steroids it’s taken a long time but I’m now down to 2mg from 60mg it’s been a rocky road but I’m getting there.

well done for getting your prednisolone intake down to such low levels. The last few milligrammes are the most difficult in my experience. I hope that the micophenolate continues to control your disease.

Do you have Rheumatoid Arthritis? I ask as you mention the neurologist and this is the site for autoimmune arthritis?
