Guest guest Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 , Thanks for replying. I was on metatrexate once a week for a year. I didn't have hair loss. However I could not tell that it helped me. I hve been in the hospital four times this year. How long does it take to be able to tell difference? We are hoping that I cn lower my prednisone soon. Did it help with your neuro- Saarc? I lte Nov. They are going to be starting a clinicl trail at UAB that my dr. is going to try to get me in.
