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...

Sometimes it gets worse before it gets better, Once the med kicks in. Let ur rheumatologist know Monday what’s happening. He can give u something to get over the hump until med works. Also, ur eye symptoms could be Sjogrens Syndrome, I have that real bad. Ask ur rheumatologist. Best wishes.
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!
