Guest guest Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 Just looking for some feedback, here. I started on Methotrexate July 22. Currently I am also taking 2 5mg prednisone every day. (and Plaquenil). My doctor said it could take 2 mos for Mtx to work. I was feeling better with the prednisone but in the last week or 2, having more pain in my hands and feet again. I started back to work last week after being off all summer - I work in the schools which involves a lot of walking and being on my feet - so maybe that has made things worse. For those of you who have had success with Mtx, how long did it take to notice a difference? Is there anyone who has had lasting positive effects from Mtx? Also, is the low dose of prednisone I'm on enough to lower my immune system significantly? Working in the schools, I get exposed to a lot of things and hate to think I will easily pick up what the kids have. Doc wants to leave me on prednisone a couple more months until the Mtx kicks in. I don't go back to see him until mid October so I thought I would throw these questions your way, to the (unfortunately) experienced ones. - in NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
