Nah, just incremental improvements
Saw the Rheumy on Thursday. Got new bloodwork done. ramping down the Prednisone from 80 to 70 a day. ramping up MTX to 15mg. from 10. ook extra folic acid as per Dr. instructions. We'll see if I can get my little head off the pilow tomorrow urk. MTX seems to make my muscles super weak, just what I need with poly! Rheumy said really ramp up exercise So on the bike and working hard. Lifted weights and then worked at my desk for about 6 hours. I got two major grants in, and two board packets out. Really need to drive soon, though.I have a number of meetings on the coast so I need to get moving soon. Urk again! gotta go, go Beavs!

Just please keep the increase in activity incrimentally small. If we over do it too much we may be back 3 steps instead of just one... One or two days overdoing it can often take me a week or more to regain.
I am so happy for you H. Keep at it, and see what your progression is. I am getting weaker but still trying to get up and walk every day. Can\'t wait for my next step of treatment. All the best,

Good job on getting some movement in and the taper. Those are great things. With the MTX, I am \"icky\" the day after my injection but then okay after that. If it is longer then that, talk to your doctor. Hang in there and take it slow and steady.
