Why is there a ton of pain associated with finally getting off (after 2 years) of prednisone??
I’m at 6mg of Methotrexate once a week, been at it for a month.
My rheumatologist is very vague about this question except to tell me that methotrexate takes a while to kick in.

After having PMR for 3 months, was then diagnosed with RA affecting both hands. Began 8mg Methotrexate. Hand pain totally gone. Going on 11 months with PMR. Now tapering down to 2 mg Prednisone next week. Dr. says wants to get me off the Prednisone, then deal with the Methotrexate.
