5mg Methotrexate...

I did not think I would ever be able to make this post! I've successfully tapered so so so slowly from 20mg of MTX per week down to 5mg per week. That's 8 pills down to 2! I'm so happy and excited with how things are going. I can realistically hope to be off my MTX in the next couple of months if I follow the slow slow taper I've been doing so far. I'm almost there and I can see the finish line. My skin is fantastic and I can't believe it. I thought coming off MTX would be so hard but so far its been a breeze (I dont want to jinx myself eeek!). But slowly slowly slowly has been key. I'm posting this very close to my 4 year anniversary. What a journey. Just 2 little pills per week to lose and I can officially say I am med free. I'm so excited about my progress and wanted to share! I hope it can serve as an inspiration for those who worry about coming off immunosuppressants. Slow and steady wins the race!

I will be doing a picture update soon. I hope everyone in my lovely TSW family are doing well and are keeping the finish line in sight.
