Have Arthritis And Fibromyalgia. Taken Steroids And Methotrexate. Recommendations?
I have 4 types of arthritis and fibromyalgia. I was on steroids and methotrexate before but had about an 8 year remission and now it has come back with a vengeance. I can not take steroids,i become very aggressive and short tempered, I would actually hurt someone. The highest dose I have taken recently in Prednisone 5-l0 injection and that is still hard on me. I take methodone for pain what do you recommend for the relapse. Methadone not controlling the pain and also taking ibuprofen 800mg. looking forward to recommendations.
