Possi - I remember my grandmother's RA. Mostly I remember her hands because they were SO misshapen, but my mother tells me that her funny walk was caused by the fact that her big toes had turned at 90 degrees and now lay accross her other toes, as a result of the damage in the big toe joint. She had horrific RA and they didn't have much to treat it with back then.
Rumble - I still haven't been able to taper off the prednisone. However, I am making progress in recovering from the opioid pain meds so I'm also ready to try again. I'm still concerned it might be the pred that has given me so much improvement, rather than the mtx.
