@midniteangelcloudjum You can reasonable assume that any drug your Rheumy wants you on is an anti-inflammatory. I asked my AI tool and this is what I got -
"Yes — methotrexate is an anti‑inflammatory, even though it isn’t classified the same way as NSAIDs or steroids. It reduces inflammation by suppressing immune pathways that drive diseases like PMR, GCA, RA, and psoriasis."

BTW many cancer drugs have anti-inflammatory properties. There are dozens of types of inflammation - it is a jungle out there.

Hope that helps. All of the newer PMR/GCA drugs are anti-inflammatories as well. Once you get to this point, you possibly need to ask some of your other doctors about their perspective if you believe it will interfere or when something seems contraindicated. Unfortunately answers for these type problems are more shades of gray and not easily black and white.

My GI doctor was more liberal than my Rheumy when it came to certain GI side effects. My Endo is more willing in most cases than my Nephrologist. My Cardiologist doesn't care as long as there are no known cardiac side effects. My Pulmonologist just watches, waiting for his chance to jump in. Dancing with doctors was not my idea of retirement, but who actually lives their ideal retirement!

These problems have become our companions, uninvited and we are hard pressed to find the exit door for them.
