My doctor suggested methotextrate when I was at 20 mgs of prednisone in my 3rd month total. I was scared to take this metho drug and now I’m in my 9 month now at 19 mgs and can’t go lower. I have in and in my 5th week with the methotextrate. No help yet but I think my body is addicted to the steroids and gonna be difficult to wean off now than my 3rd moth. He might have been right. Good luck in your decision
