Guest guest Posted November 6, 2000 Report Share Posted November 6, 2000 Ros, Thank you for the info. I am glad to hear this combination of Meds is helping others in the group. I would love to be able to lower my Pred. one day. I would also love to be able to get some of my ability to function back again. Do you inject your Metho? I have had trouble with Metho bothering my stomach so hopefully by injecting I can get to the max dose with no stomach problems.
