Had my six-month checkup with Dr Villa Forte today. All continues to be well with me. I asked her about getting off mtx. She recommended against it because her research indicates that those who go off mtx have a 40% chance of having a flare within a year. So, the slight fatigue for 36 hours is a small price to pay.
I will resume my pred taper. I've been on 3 mg/day since last September. Hope to be off altogether in 3-4 months.
