Question: Prednisone vs DMARDS

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I’ve been reading the posts on early treatment with DMARDS improving your

long term prospects and preventing damage. As you know I can’t take any

DMARDs till I’ve had a baby and have been on Prednisone since I was

diagnosed over a year ago. My question is, will the Prednisone help prevent

the damage and progression of the disease as well as the DMARDS? I know

long term it’s bad because of the side effects but for now is it controlling

and slowing the disease as well as DMARDS would?

Does anyone know the answer to this?

Hugs,

Heidi
