Methotrexate & Prednisolone

[Shyandretiring]

Hi

So sorry to hear what you have been and are currently going through, you must feel so vunerable right now.

I was on Prednisolone for only 6 weeks but you do not say how long you have been taking them ?.

All I know is before taking Methotrexate ( been on them now for approximately 20 weeks ) I was in real pain in my wrists, hands & knees.

The difference the Methotrexate has made to the quality of my life is immesurable although it takes 12 weeks to kick in !

Maybe you can suggest to your clinician to see if you can come off the Prednisolone ( perhaps after the first 12 weeks of Methotrexate and just see how you feel for a few weeks at least you will stop the Prednisolone which is one of your big worries it would seem.

Regards
