Guest guest Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Hi & Group, I had the TB test on Monday and got it read when I went back to the doctor's on Wednesday. It was not the new type of TB test. She had injected a needle just under the skin on the inside of my forearm. the results were negative. In any case, I have had so many side affects from the Prednisone she is weaning me down off them. I will hopefully be off it over the course of 8 weeks. She is keeping me on the Methotrexate and Plaquinil. I know it takes time for the Methotrexate to work but I've been on it for 2 months now with no imporvement. She said to give it a little more time so I will be on it til I go back to her in January and then we will decide if I stay on it or not. But if it's not helping, I'm getting off that too as I am no longer going to put things into my system that are not helping. So, hopefully my leg won't get any worse and I can get off some of this medicine. I will keep you posted as to how I make out. Jackie S.
