You are absolutely right, sometimes one is so overwhelmed that one forgets to put others in context. I was diagnosed with PMR in December I started Prednisone 20mg and Methotrexate 15mg. I am now on 5 mg of Prednisone and 15 of Methotexate. When I asked the doctor's office what I could take in case I felt bad, they told me to stop the treatment. With all that I have learned here in these 3 months, it seemed illogical to me that stopping Methotrexate would be reasonable but not Prednisone. Thank you very much for the article. I hope the googel translator did a good job this time.
