If you need prednisone, then I don't think you have great control. I would think you need to be on a biologic. Prednisone will make your tissues paper thin, cause osteoporosis, etc.

Be careful with prednisone. I was on it along with methotrexate for psoriatic arthritis and ended up with osteoporosis. That is no fun, broke foot, ankle, elbow and back all in less than five months. Because of your age you might want to see about moving on to something else, as it doesn't seem that your RA is in control.
