Hi,
My rheumatologist just put me on hydroxychloroquire and prednisone along with methotrexate and meloxicam. She changed the methotrexate to injections instead of pills. I'm newly diagnosed with AS and not sure about all these meds.
Has anyone used any of these and what side effects have you had?
I'm a 59 year old female and really having difficulty performing my duties at work. Just hoping to hang on until I can retire.
