Hi all. I have seen a new Rheumy this week and she has recommended I have an annual injection of methotrexate and start taking placquinal. Would welcome any advice.. I have had lots more blood and urine tests and will get the results next week when I see her again. Short update. major flare at 4mg of Pred from 5mg which I had been on for 12 months. I got an osteoporosis fracture and it was time to reduce again. Have had PMR for 3 years . Still have pain, aches, profuse sweating, fatigue, weight gain and every pred side effect. Uggggggg.
I have also been on Proteos, strontium ranelate for the osteoporosis, and I am having bowel problems with this, very sticky motions 5 to 8 times a day. I am only telling you this cause I cant see you xx Anyway, please any advice? Lyn
