@voll Thank you for your reply. I decided to give the methotrexate 4 to 6 months to kick in. I don’t know if I’ll last that long. I also was getting sick from the 15 mg dose, so I now take 3 in the am and 3 in the pm. I never want to go back on prednisone, so I’m thinking of giving up meds entirely. What a confounding, awful disease. Could be worse, but it’s not fun.

@vanmeerd ya that’s tough. The problem is that you need to replace the cortisol that your body is not producing. That’s where prednisone comes in. Ask your doctor but I don’t know of any replacement. Hope it goes well for you.
