@ddr I'm now taking both prednisone and methotrezate. (as of today, 10 mg of prednisone and 7 1/2 methotrexate.) My rheumatologist is hoping the methotrexate will help wean me off the prednisone. I also have osteoporosis. I really have to get off the prednisone for all kinds of reasons--having a huge problem with hair loss is one of them. Good luck as you look for what works best for you!

@ddr
My rheumatologist has me in prednisone (I’m trying the 3.7mg drop from 4 mg) & methotrexate 15 mgs once a week. He’s saying get off pred & metho should take over. I have osteoporosis so getting off prednisone is very important for me. So far so good. Started prednisone March 2025 & metho in May 2025.
I do hear some folks say methotrexate doesn’t help them but I’m hoping I continue to improve! It’s been a not so fun year!!! I’d like to lose the weight & grow some hair!!!
