I have been on prednisone since end of March 2025 & added methotrexate end of May 2025. I’ve been lowering prednisone as suggested by rheumy & now at 2 mgs dropping very slowly.
Methotrexate I suppose it working? My pain levels are extremely low (yea!) except for maybe arthritis creeping up in shoulder? I’ll be 73 in a few weeks so a few old age related mild aches are extremely acceptable right now!!
Methotrexate does cause me fatigue a day or so after taking & I nap if I need to. Then I’m ok.
I see rheumy early next month & we’ll look at all the lab #s. I’d like to know when & how fast I can be weaned off methotrexate! I take 15 mg once a week. I don’t know what it’s doing to my internal body!
