I would recommend you try the Methotrexate. I did not do well on it but if I had done well I might be off of the steroids. Take a chance.

I started on 10 mg of MTX with trepidation last October ‘22 as was having protracted flare and asthenia. The pharmacist who dispensed it said MTX had been miracle drug for some. I took it that evening and the following day felt completely different! Within 3 days most of the pain and inflammation had been wiped out. I was on 15 mg of Pred and am slow tapering to 14 mg. Rheumy wants me to up it to 15 mg of MTX - I’ve been on 10 mg for 12 weeks now & thinking of raising it to 15 mg of MTX tomorrow. It’s working for me… good luck whatever you decide. BW. xx
