I am considering methotrexate, but wondering if I am trading one set of side effects for a worse set. I believe Prednisone has given me thin skin, which tears so easily. All of the bruises and bleeding drive me crazy, but that may be better than the side effects of the methotrexate.
On another note, the markers for me do not tell the story. The only time I feel that they did was pre-Prednisone. Since then, when I was hurting the markers were normal. I hate getting poked when it tells me nothing!
