Hey all, hope everyone's enjoying this gorgeous weather
Big step this week coming off Prednisolone - been on it since November last year, so now I'm a one drug woman
I know it's a positive thing not to be on the steroids anymore, and to let Meth do it's thing - but I am feeling rather sore in the ol knees... Pred was like my morning fix to get me going each day!
Anyhoo, hopefully the Meth will work it's wonders and I won't feel so creaky... I guess I can always sneak the odd Pred if it gets bad??? Or is that naughty?!

Hi Missk, no, it's not naughty, we all know our own bodies and a lot of us have to do a bit of juggling at times. Let's hope the Meth does help and that you don't need any steroids. XX BubblesXX Aidan (still known as Bubbles).0

Hi misskatt
I hope that you manage to leave the steroids behind it must be a hard and scarey decission.
Will have myy fingers crossed that the metx is going to be enough for you.

Hi Misskat
I have everything crossed for you, I should think that some pain is to be expected till the Meths start to get going.
Good luck

Hi Misskat,
Good luck hope you manage to stay off them I am desperate to get off them. Down to 5mg and counting!!
Trouble is the methotrexate gives me chest infections so my rhumatologist won't put my dose back up!!
However, It is very tempting to take prednisalone when you are in pain. When I've had a real bad day (fortunately not for a while) I've taken 40mg and it works wonders. Like Bubbles said you know your own body and what it can take.
