I was on cortisone for 8 months, and they tapered me off it gradually because it was exhausting for me. Instead, they prescribed Methotrexate injections; I started with 10 mg, then 8 mg, and now I am on 6 mg. This July (next month), I will have been on Methotrexate for a full year.

However, it is currently causing me a lot of fatigue. I constantly experience diarrhea, stomach pain, and a lack of energy (feeling sluggish/lethargic), and I catch illnesses and infections very quickly.

I am worried about telling my doctor about these symptoms because I'm afraid they might put me back on cortisone, or do nothing and just tell me to tolerate it.

Note: I am definitely taking my vitamins alongside it, including Folic Acid, Omega-3, and Vitamin D."
