Are you on the tablets? I used to hate Tuesdays that was Methotrexate day, I would throw up and by the time the next lot was due I'd just about got my tummy back to normal. I'm happy to say that I have a wonderful doctor and he put me on the injections, noel I have no worries, they go into your tummy, you soon get used to doing them, all I get not is a bit of stinging which soon wears off.I hope this has been helpful to you.
Injectables are the way to go. The pills don't dissolve fast enough and pass through you system too fast. They're a waste.

ju;ie i was on methotrexate but i got really unwell and it depleted my iron to almost nothing. i am currently on leflunomide but have been off it for nearly 3 months as i've had unavoidable infections. can't wait to get back on it though it works wonderfully and caused my inflammatory markers to dip into the normal range for the 1st time. it also has less side effects than methotrexate
I have wondered the same thing - I am also seronegative but treated with RA drugs -methotrexate, plaquenil, and prednisone!
