Prednisone was one, but it whacks me out and once done with it, the pain comes back. My other option is Methotrexate, which they monitor closely with bloodwork. I think I'm going to go that route. I hope your wife gets some relief soon.

My husband has been seeing Dr. Stark since 2010 and wouldn’t leave him for anything. He doesn’t accept Advantage plans. Regular Medicare pays for infusions that can only be done in a doctor’s office. Dr. Stark is very knowledgeable about these and his office does administer them. He also used to be (may still be) on the state Medicare board for rheumatology.
