I wanna stop taking methotrexate and prednisone.

Posted by farnhamlaf1 @farnhamlaf1, 6 hours ago

Has anyone tried using turmeric instead of prednisone and methotrexate and wondering how the results are? I’m on 25 mg of methotrexate once a week and 5 mg of prednisone I’m willing to stop and take a chance and try the turmeric. Please respond.

If turmeric did anything, we'd all be on turmeric instead of prednisone. If you're serious about the idea of suddenly dumping prednisone and methotrexate, suggest you do a couple of things first:
1. Pack your bag for hospital
2. Google "adrenal crisis", a potentially fatal result of suddenly stopping prednisone.
Not kidding.

Are you just sick of the whole thing? What's going on for you?
