Hi,
In the few days I'm here I learned so much, thank you For the information and for the emotional support
:cool1:
I think of the proportions: some of you are going to a clinic with 700 wegies ! Wow ! Even 35 is a lot. Most of the doctors I met never saw any wegee before. My WG doc saw some, I didn’t dare to ask him how many…
I want to ask about joints – red and aching. When it is happening, like this week, my doc told me to take more pred for a couple of days. There are some options: 60-40-30-20-10-5 for 5 days, or 20 for 3 or 5 days then 10 and then back to my usual 5 mg. I would like to ask if this is the right way ? other ways ? maybe something is missing in my treatment ? How can you tell if a treatment is enough ? If it fits' is that’s mean having no symptoms ?
In addition to pred I take MTX 2.5 mg a day, six days a week.
I don’t like to take too much pred, although it bring grate relief, because of the 'cocker spaniel' face it cause… and not to mention hair loss because of MTX… :sad:important issues for girls…
