i am on mtx forRA , I also have pmr.

i do sometimes think am I doing the right thing by taking both.

at the moment I had to miss my weekly mtx as I have a kindney infection, and I must say I am suffering more with RA than pred at the moment, but last week I could have said my pmr was worse, and I believe this was because the doctors wanted me to reduce by 2.5mg at a time, and I was not told it would help me to reduce to get off pred just to help with the RA.

i may change my mind after TUesday when I have a cat scan to check the nodules on my lungs.
