Guest guest Posted February 25, 2003 Report Share Posted February 25, 2003 Hi all. I was just diagnosed with RA and am in that stage where I'm a little scared about what's going to happen. I'm glad I found this group. I am 28 and this all started with a cold that wouldn't go away for about three months and then wandering joint pain that eventually settled in permanently into several joints. I am on prednisone and an NSAID and start methotrexate tomorrow. I have a couple questions... I am on prednisone at 10mg a day and will stay on it for about six more weeks (8 total). Has anyone had bad side effects with that low of a dose for that amount of time? And my other question is... I also have a minor heart condition (SVT- a form of tachycardia) and wonder if anyone out there has something similar or has heard of any type of connection? Thank you so much.
