Hi,
The positive ANA, Anti RNP antibody and High SED rate suggestive of mix autoimmune disease.
So you have been suffering from the autoimmune disease in which antibody forms against own cells.
The prednisone like steroid and Methotrexate like immunosuppressant given for that.
I suggest you consult a rheumatologist to get prescription.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
