@barracudacool Do you feel methotrexate has helped or does anyone else have any experience with it?

It did and I know that meth has really helped others. But when I got down to 8mg of prednisone everything blew up on me. Looking back over the year it is clear that the meth was just not handling things for me. I never was without inflammation and major flare ups. Now on Kevzara and meth and inflammation normal. I am just one of those people who has difficulty tapering and Kevzara is really aimed at us.

@barracudacool Thanks so much for your reply. I will continue to stay on methotrexate for a while. I am also on 5ml Prednisone.
