I couldn´t get an appointment with my doctor until april, and her assistance nurse gave me a prescription for methylprednisolone dospak, but I haven´t started because of its side effects. But now I am willing to start it tomorrow. Thank you so much.

They wanted me on low doses every day but I blew up and hated it so have come off.
You need to know how to take them and get off them properly!
Has your Dr discussed all this with you?
You can't just take them whenever you like, you must ween off slowly.

it may be due to a number of things, you may (dpending on where you live it could be weather related, ) or it may be due to your need for a dose adjustment or even a different medication any of these you should just let you doctor/rheumatologist know so that he can help you get through this I do hope you improve soon
