Down to 15 mgs now and so far so good. Been on metho for over two years and they say I will never get off it. Yeah right!! I'm gonna show them!!! I'm down to 5mgs of pred and they sad that wouldn't happen either!! Yes I take folic Acid every day just not at the same time as the metho. I take the metho in the morn and other drugs at lunch. Sometimes taking metho at night lets you sleep through some of the sickness. I take mine Friday morning and by suppertime I crash. I work all week and save my sick time for the weekend. Perrier comes flavoured with lime or lemon, I prefer to use a slice of fresh lime it's much better. Talk to your doc to see if you're on enough folic acid. Hi, Elaine! You WILL get off the MTX and Pred. Those docs just don't know how strong of a person they're dealing with. I take my MTX with supper Friday evening.....and do my suffering on the weekend also. I don't work, but my weekdays are usually full of dr appts and other things, plus my husbands days off work are Thurs and Fri, so the Fri MTX seems to work well for me. My husband went to the store this morning and got me two bottles of Perrier.....one is regular and the other is lemon flavored. Like you, I think I would prefer just adding fresh lime myself. Take care, and thanks for all the advice. Love, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
