Guest guest Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Hi Group: Before I start....Wow , thanks for posting all those links, I feel lucky to be reading all this stuff you take the time to research. So, my Rheumy told me to stop the predni this week (I have dread of the hots to come, but so far so good x 3 days out). I am just taking the MTX once a week, to see how things go. I notice that I have some mild confusion, I have a very fast pace job and I notice lately I have trouble multi-tasking and I must stop and really concentrate on what I have to say. I spoke to my pain doc, she says the fentanyl patch just relieves my pain and doesnt cause this (which is true, because I am not high in the least, but the pain is so much lessened). I also noticed that there is a delay in response time of my body to my brain's commands. In other words when I want to get up and walk, I notice a slight delay from the time I think it, until I actually move. Its like my legs dont keep up with the rest of me. I hope I am making sense, does anybody else experience this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
