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 !!!

Hello @lindaadele I am so sorry to hear you still have pain. This is such a frustrating and sometimes disheartening condition! I find it very confusing yet interesting to read about all the different treatment plans that rheumatologist put their patients on. At times when I read about the drugs used and see that the rate of success when used for PMR is not great it makes me wonder. That said our bodies all react differently.
I do hope your rheumatologist will be able to help you on Thursday and that all this will be behind you very soon. Wishing you all the very best! 🤞🙏
