Anyone got a flare up due to Prednisole/started as new med..?

Mid-October 24, I was prescribed Prednisolone (1st time ever) while 'in waiting' 3 weeks - a transfer from oral to injection Methotrexate. (Methotrexate does not seem to be working for me/anyhow/but that's another story). I am in pain everyday…

ps: presently diagnosed seronegative.

I am left very curious, as 2 days after starting Prednisolone 15mg, it took zero pains away but instead a major flare up began, so on 5th day I contacted rheum asking for advice. Rheum never replied so I improvised (after researching online stopping safety) ...and so I stopped taking Prednisolone and within 2 days body returned to baseline/flare up gone. As anyone ever had a similar experience?

Also that flare up in question attacked some new body parts, so now left with additional problematic&painful parts.

Really wondering is someone ever reported such a type of happening.

Smile & thank you
