prednisone has been a miracle drug for me. Even with the weight gain, my pain levels are MUCH MUCH lower, and Im able to do way more then I could before the preddy. Ive been on it for almost a year and a half now and my doc doesnt even mentino when Ill come off because its the only thing we can use to fight the pain besides opiates. I had a bad reaction to methotrexate personally, but Im sure you'll get a lot of people telling you about their experiences. Welcome from lurking. Its a good place to be, this kickas.org. Its saved my sanity plenty of times.
