What Is The Best Treatment For Rheumatoid Arthritis?
I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and have been taking Methotrexate and Prednisone since 2/15/11. I have been waiting for period to start for two weeks...still hasn't come :( I'm def NOT pregnant. Is this normal? I didn't see it on any list of side effects...
Someone also said it could be the body's normal response to trauma (pain) is that true?

Youmay consult your rheumatologist again.It is fine that medicines ahve suited thus far, but i would suggest that prednisone, a steroid shoul be gradually tapered and substituted with other Medicine like hydroxychloroquine 250mg daily along with methotrexate.
Theremay be delay in periods due to other cause so see a gynocologist
