Barbiegirl - I'm on the same drug cocktail as you thanks to a recent flare up and I'm also working on reducing my steroid dose (so far down from 20mg daily to 7.5mg daily) but I seem to have been advised to do it much more slowly than you - I'm reducing my dose every two weeks by taking different odses on alternate days, so for the last two weeks I was taking 10mg one day, 7.5mg the next, 10mg the next and so on - then I'll stick at 7.5mg daily for two weeks before going to 7.5mg/5mg on alternate days for teh following two days. Once I'm down to a 5mg daily dose the plan then is to continue with the alternate days regime but reducing by only 1mg at a time.

I seem to be doing ok on the sulfa, hydroxy, MTX mix and at my Rheum appt yesterday it was suggested that if things continue to stay under control that maybe my MTX dose (currently 20mg weekly) might be reduced too - I'm quite pleased about that. :o)

I hope the combo works for you too.
