@kmb181 I'm three years in and have my days too. I've not heard of Medrol. Do you take that instead of prednisone? I've done enough research on methotrexate to know that I won't try it and my Rheumy agrees.

I don’t like the idea of the injectable methotrexate, and all of the side effects either.
I have started having some issues with heartburn, and stomach. She’s worried about my long term use of steroids now on my body.
She switched me from Pred to Methylprednisolone. It works so much better for me. I was getting rashes, red bumps, and having some other issues with the Pred.
It all went away when I switched over to the Methylprednisolone. It is stronger than Pred. I like it better.
