It's possible that you are in a flare. My rheumy put me on anti-inflammatory meds when I started MTX. They helped until the MTX could kick in. It takes a few months for the MTX to work. Maybe check in with your doctor and see what could be causing your symptoms. I can no longer take the anti-inflammants, but Tylenol Arthritis really helps me. Hope you get better quickly. Hugs...

It can take up to 3 months to work...

Not sure where you are from but as it gets cold you’ll be sore more than usual. Sounds corny but true! You can even tell when cold or rainy weather is coming. Hang on babe!

Yeah im taking folic acid with it, they are going to give me four more weeks on it and if i dont show improvement ill be going on something else

Hi I actually had to stop the mtx after about 6 months because it made me wayyy too sick and my flares worse! I also started getting symptoms of pleural effusion and since I already have asthma that is not good on top of that SO i stopped taking mtx. I use humira now. Are you doing folic acid with the methotrexate? That helps symptoms. A compound pharmacy can do methylated folic acid which metabolizes slower too
