I am very fortunate to be able to do that. I have arthritis in my hands and still able to use them which is a blessing also. Cause hubby is busy at work and wouldn't know what to do if I had to depend on him. I am worried about the toes though…

Thats great that you are able to get relief with less meds. My rheumie says that I have what is called a "blunted effect" to meds for PA. So it takes a lot more to give me relief.

I agree sharon I was much on 40mg of prednisone a day, but it started to cause my blood pressure to sky rocket so i had to go off it...:( what dose of prednisone are you on, out of curiosity.

Oh I to have to take folic acid once a day. I take it every other day.... lol. For me it's the folic acid that can upset my stomach. You to should be on that? Ask your doc. Methotrexate can really lower your iron. Also my doc says to take vit D.

So I saw my derm and it turns out that I have blood in my urine-symptom of a u.t.i. and she can't start me until I clear and also gets my urologist's blessing for the methotrexate. I have frequent u.t.i.'s so now I am wondering…
