Hi Shar- How are you doing? Are you still improving on the Methotrexate? That's a thought about taking Prednisone at night to prevent morning tiredness, but I would be afraid of not sleeping. When I started Pred. (40 mg)it woke me up and I ended up washing all the glassware in my china closet in the middle of the night. I agree with you, I follow my doctor's advice, but I am at the point where I feel the best medicine is no medicine. But I certainly do not know enough and some of the medicine has helped. In the meantime, my internist is running many new tests, plus prescribing a long-acting Penicillin along with the other antibiotic and the other medications. I think he thinks I have some deep-seated infection. I think it is PMR, because I have all the usual symptoms. My Rheum. also is running a batch of new tests because in July it will be five years I have this thing. I see the Rheum. in the middle of March, so we can compare notes. I hope you continue to improve and especially hope you feel better. Best wishes, Ida
