Hello @lindaadele I am now near the end of week 6 of MTX. 7th dose will be Sunday at supper.
My dizziness has definitely gotten worse, especially upon getting out of bed and most of the morning.
Had a telephone appt with Rheumatologist and she wants me to start tapering off prednisone (I am currently on 11 mg) 1 mg at a time every two weeks until 5 mg and then stay at that dosage until our next appointment end of July. I am also feeling kind of foggy in the head. A little spacey... for the most part I try to ignore all this and carry on as usual. If I get nervous I remind myself to just breathe ... it helps. How are you doing? Hope things are better for you.

Great hearing from you! this Wednesday I will be on my eighth week of MTX. I take 10 mg each week. On the day I take the MTX I do get quite dizzy and brain fog. After a couple of days I feel somewhat better. right now the two medicines that I’m taking are MTX and hydroxychloroquine only. I go to my rheumatologist a week from this Thursday. I still have joint pain. Unfortunately I don’t do well with any of these medication‘s and I’ve been on quite a few already For PMR. i’m hoping for the best and I like what you said about just breathing unfortunately I know all about Breathing but I always forget to breathe! wishing you the very very very best !!!
