Pain from swimming or methotrexate?

Hi everyone, I just started methotrexate last weekend and I feel like my pain has increased. I'm not sure if it is from the methotrexate or the swimming. I am thinking it's from the methotrexate though because during and after swimming I feel so much better until the pain starts back up again. Any thoughts?

Since I started taking humira I have been itchy all over. The worst place is my hands.

are there any groups that meet in Southern Utah?

This on-line thing is so difficult. Most people I have looked up in my area hardly ever post. We should get a support group together. Anyone interested?

I’m not in Utah but in a lot of areas people have great success starting an in person/offline group using meetup.com. perhaps you should try that.
