A Visit to My Rheumy.........
Last month my rhuemy put me back on my old medication of 2 tablets of 2.5mg/tab Methotrexate which I had stopped for nearly a year due to my body not adapting to it anymore. I had been on prednisone for 6 months and the pain is not getting any better. I am glad this time my body did not show any bad side effects after a month back to Methotrexate.
A visit to my rheumy few days ago saw some good results. The inflamation has gone down greatly and a bonedensity scan shows that my bone is still strong enough to withstand any fall. I have been worried as prolong use of predisone which is a steroid will cause brittle bones. Hopefully the next few months will see much improvement in my well being with no side effects besides being less energetic.
The prednisone is taking its toil on my gastric. I am now weaning it off slowly for good.
