By taking one of these drugs, it usually helps us to get off or at least down on the prednisone, which in my case is now doing more harm than good.. Okay group... I need your help explaining this.... I will make a mess of it. LOL , I'm sure that someone will answer your question so that you will understand it better. I was on metho and then Imuran but unfortunately they didn't work for me. It's still seems so weird to me that we all have the same disease, but different meds work for different people.. Keep on asking questions , this is how we all learn... hugs claudia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
