Yeah Trillian, i will definately check with the dr about what to take when. At the moment the steroids have it pretty under control-ish.. as in i have only small hard lumps on my hands and no where else, and they arnt all peeling and red and exposed as they have been. The finger tips on my right hand are a bit tender, but all in all they are nothing like they have been- but mind you i can go from nothing to full on blisters and bumps in a day or so.. so i would say that fingers crossed the MTX will work pretty quickly. The only delema i have though there is that as soon as i stop the steroids or drop down to anywhere below 10mg, i break out.. so I could be in for a week or so of transition where they will get worse before they clear up totally kind of thing, and i will be checking with the dr to see if its ok to maybe keep using the steroids for a week or so, and at the very least drop down to below what i ahve been taking maybe...


Its good to go to the next appt armed with some personal experience info and some questions to ask.

Which forum are you on trillian?? I found one that i think was american but it didnt seem like people frequented it that much so i stopped going there myself!
