I have been on methotrexate for one month now. Please do not allow yourself to get worried and worked up over possible side effects. I worried myself sick when I first got diagnosed last month. I have had zero side effects- absolutely none. I take folic acid everyday and biotin to prevent hair loss.

I have been on MTX injections for three years now and, hand on heart, I have never had any side effects with them. Sometimes people listen to all the horror stories and get worked up with worry. Two friends of mine are also on the injections and they haven't had any side effects either.i hope all goes well for you. Hugs.

I have taken Methotrexate tablets along with Folic Acid for 4 years Maybe a slight thinning of hair,but but noticeable. I have minimal flare ups but nothing serious.. Am very pleased with my rheumatologist and the treatment he has ordered.

I started weekly injections last month. Nausea, being a bum for 24-48 hours after and some hair loss are my things. Feel fortunate that I had think hair to begin with. I wish you all the best! No side effects and quick relief for pain. I'm still waiting for the pain relief. The nearly neon caution yellow in the vials is dreadful to me and getting to Sunday night when I inject is like watching sand in an hourglass. Learning to live it up without drinking in the non nausea moments though!

don't work yourself up about possible side effects. Not everyone gets them.
