Fingers crossed

One whole week off the steroids! Been very slow tapering and now stopped and feel fine.

Steroids had masked an no doubt exacerbated arthritis knees etc. but hoping all okay. Told to start tapering methotrexate in 3 weeks by 5mg per month.

Everything crossed, take it really easy, you will be a precious princess for a while yet. Look out for Adrenal wobbles.

Will do thanks Jane x

Well done, and good luck, but as SheffieldJane says keep on eye on adrenals… and don’t assume every ache is PMR, but don’t ignore any obvious ones.

I will thank you, I’ve learned a lot from you over the years x

All the best! Seems quite soon to taper the MTX but needs to go at some point, Don't be in denial if anything feels "wrong".

I won’t thank you x
