Hi I haven't been on line for a while I've had one since last November started on 40mg then dropped to 15mg
I was conversing with John bishop and got a lot of help and advice spot on he was as well as others people don't understand how severe the pain can get now fast forward I've now seen the rheumatologist having been on Presidolone for 9 months after seeing him and he now thinks it's not pmr he thinks it
Rheumatoid athritist I have to stay on the presidelone I am now down to 7mg but I am also on methotrexate now.nightmare I have to take 6 2.5 mg 1 day a week then also take 1 folic acid 1 day I'm rattling with all the tablets I just can't believe I have to take so much medication the presidelone have certainly worked but these other tablets are something else they have to get me off the presidelone but it's going to take time I know exactly what you are going through but there's a lot of good people on here ready to help you I'm in the UK and you guys are in the USA I really hope everything works out for you and it will just keep positive and you will get there take care
