Are the side effects short or long term? The doctor might give you a cocktail of medicines to take. If, that is the case ask "Is there one medicine I can slowly come off of?" I came off of steroids. But, am on a high dose at the moment. i hope this helps. Here is something you should ask:

You have put a good set of questions together for the new to this Disease. I could have done with those as I was still numb from being told that I had RA when my first visit to the Rheumatologist came due. My biggest question that I was asking and could not be answered is
