Anyone having luck while taking methotrexate?

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! 🤞🙏

How are you doing on your methotrexate? I am still taking one day at a time and hoping for the best and trying to be patient which I’m not very patient. The last time I went to my doctor I told her that I was doing a little bit better not much but a little bit it’s just working very slowly if it ever works at all we’ll have to find out going forward. At my last visit she increased my methotrexate from 10 mg a week to 20 mg a week of methotrexate. The one side effect that I seem to have is that once in a while I get lightheaded all of a sudden out of the blue. Are you having any side effects with your methotrexate? How are you feeling right now and how are you doing? I am still taking one day at a time and hoping for the best with this PMR it is no fun in my body does not react like other people to the medication‘s and then as I’m not doing me any good so I’m just taking one day at a time and we’ll see what happens. Wishing you the very very best moving forward!!! Love to hear from you!!!
