In early diagnosis, Is it common to have random flare ups while on prednisone& methotrexate?

Heck yes! Took me over a month for methotrexate to start to work and I had to add a biologic: enbrel injections. I've been on that combo for a year and I'm having a flare up today!

I was diagnosed in March 2020 and I'm always in a flare or so it seems. Everytime I go to rheumatologist (every 3 months) they say I'm in a flare and keep adding meds. Im on methotrexate. Vitamin d, folic acid, hydroxychlor, prednisone, and naproxin....so I have been wondering the same thing.
