I just heard of methotrexate. I am glad to hear it works well. But I see you took prednisone first. I wonder if you could have started with methotrexate?

Probably could have. The internist thought the prednisone would be alright to take when having hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The cardiologist is the one who said absolutely not. This is the reason for starting on methotrexate
