Well, it's finally happening. I have been decreasing my mtx for the last two months from 4 pills to 2 pills. It's been a month since my last decrease, and am I feeling it now! I've been waiting for some pain to start back, but, of course, hoping it wouldn't. Hurt all over, fatigued, blah-blah-blah—you know the drill.
Thanks for listening; just needed a shoulder. God I hate this
Susan Why does he think you need to be on something milder? Have you had problems with the MTX? Kelly The reason he was going to try and decrease it was because I was doing so well getting off the pred. and not having pain. Went from 4 mtx pills to 3 without a problem, too. So he thought he'd introduce sulphasalazine into the mix and try and to either wean me off the mtx or get it as a low dosage as possible and supplement it with the sulphas... So I said sure let's try it because I really don't like being on the mtx. But if I have to so be it. Susan
