Guest guest Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 I saw my doc and he put me om MTX and folic acid and prednisone. I have only had RA for 10 months and this seems a bit soon for this treatment but NSAIDS were not working. I took my first dose yesterday and did not feel sick but today I am very tired and am sleeping a lot. Is this normal? I am not feeling super hungry yet from the prednisone so I am happy. It will be hard on my joints if I pack onanother 10 pounds. I have been reading a lot lately about RA and especially the grieving process and I think I am somewhere between denial and acceptance. When I have a good day I try to convince myself I do not have this but the next day reality sets in and I know what I have is true. I am just not ready to accept this life long jaunt with it,yet. Is this unusual? How long does it take to sink in. I have bipolar disorder and am afraid this will take me into depression. JAnice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
