Finally saw the Rheumatologist

Posted by rocksology @rocksology, 1 day ago

After waiting over 6 months, I saw the Rheumatologist yesterday. She is cutting me down from 20 mg prednisone to 15 mg then slowly down to 10. At that point she will start Methotrexate before tapering me off the pred. I know there has been extensive discussion about Methotrexate on here, could someone tag me on the discussion?
