Need info on the med my Rheum wants to give me to wean me off 30mgs of Prednisone. It is Methotrexate. I don't want to take it. I am a 79 year old female. I need help making up my mind.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) Support Group.

I have been on 15 mg MTX per week for almost a year to provide relief while easing off prednisone. No side effects and I am finally down to 2mg Pred a day. It truly helped me. I am 74 with PMR
