@leighton68 I iterated the methylprefnisone (in the initial steroid pack , they called it) much better than Prednisone. I was treated by my PCP. I told him I preferred the Methylprednisone and he said No because Prednisone is the “go to” medication that rheumatologists use.
Now , after a Prednisone induced blood clot and three days in the hospital, I’m in the care of a rheumatologist. I want the biologic to get of the Predsisone ASAP.
Good luck and I wish you the very best in what I hope is a brief chapter in a long healthy life.

@stonewheel oh no! Sending you healing energy! Methylprednisolone is terrible, my ears ring so loud, brain fog, messes with my digestion, mood swings and I've put on 15 pounds! I just started LD naltrexone, I'm crossing fingers, im not gonna do the biologic, I want to get to the root cause, seeing a functional doctor in a few weeks. Good luck, hope you are on the mend soon
