Guest guest Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Hi everyone. I haven't been around much lately. I had a rheumy appt today and I am now going to alternate 1mg prednisone one day, nothing the next day for 4 weeks then I'm off! I've been on 1mg daily for the last 11 weeks, and so far weaning off slowly has been going very well. I am so excited. When I'm off the prednisone then I'll have the 15mgs of mtx every Saturday and Humira every other week. It seems to be such a psychological boost to not have to take drugs daily. The only thing I'll be taking daily is supplements (vitamin, folic acid, calcium). I am so excited! I don't go back to the rheumy for 3 months! I've never gone that long without an appt since this whole RA business started. It's always been 4-8 weeks in between visits, then the last one was 11 weekend and now we can count it in months! : ) : ) : ) He gave me a prescription for Naprocyn (sp?) in case I have some pain after I stop taking the prednisone. Anyone taking this drug? Any advice? Jennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
