Hi Ed
She did explain the possible side effects but not really pro's and con's. She said that Prednisone would bring down the inflammation quicker until the methotrexate took full effect (guess it takes longer to work) But she said that it came with additional side effects such as bone loss, weight gain, slow healing and others. Just got the diagnosis two days ago. After doing some research we called back with some additional questions and are waiting for a call back. It is the weekend so I don't expect to hear until Monday. I am going to talk to my daughter about doing both meds.
