Guest guest Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 I was on 10mgs of Pred daily and 10 mgs Methotrexate 1x week since September. I just went off the Pred about 3 weeks ago and felt fine until last week, my right index finder started to feel the arthritis pain again and my right knee too. So, anyway, I've decided to see a new Rheumatologist, I have an appointment in 2 weeks. Since the Methotrexate, clearly is not working (it was the Pred that made me feel better), I want to get off of that too. I will talk to the new Rheumy about other medical options, but I am set in my mind that I am not going to go back on Pred and I do not want to be on Methotrexate either. Because of the Methotrexate, I have been severly sick several times. I have a 2 year old child, who is in day care and comes home with everything. So, can you just stop taking Methotrexate? thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
