Trying to get off the pred., just learned my liver is very good, but my doc still doesn't want me to increase the MTX --2 currently. I'm down from 3 to 2-1/2 preds. 1 in the AM, 1 at noon and 1/2 in evening (5) I sweat if I take it later and it bothers my rest. Slow is the way to go with weaning off pred and increasing mtx.I took my last Pred on Sunday, crap just remembered today is the MTX day, good thing I opened this thread, I have to take it Wed so it matches the blood test on my Remicade day right. I don't feel much worse than I have since I started dropping the Pred last Dec., but I know I had a much better Fall because of it. Is 5mg really that bad for you?
DeidreBad day and night. Woke with stiff, painful hands, feet, and trouble walking. Taking it easy.
