Methotrexate
I was just diagnosed with seronegative ra. My dr wants to put me on methotrexate. Has anyone taken this? Does it work? My pain is so bad I can barely move. Only thing that works is steroids for pain. I am 36 and just got my diagnosis Thursday so I’m totally clueless and scared as to what’s going on. Any insight would be appreciated!
Thc I tried cbd but didn’t work for me. A low carb diet helps a lot also
I've been on methotrexate for 18 months since my diagnosis for RA. I was very worried about taking it as I had read so many bad things online. In fact I am doing really will on it, not taking any pain killers, so good luck.
I am on it now have been for about a month i was diagnosed around 5-6 months ago with RA. Did they start you on low dose? I have noticed a few days after i take the meds i feel a little sick and just out of it almost like pregnancy morning sickness i also cant eat but everyone is different i do have to say though dont get discouraged after the first time you take it i have learned thats when all the side effects are their worst BUT there is no other time like the first time or at least there wasnt for me it gets better every time i think your body adjusts to it which im glad i didnt give up on it now :)
I have been on methotrexate for 21 years. When I was first diagnosed I was terrified. The pain was so bad I couldn't even lift the covers off of me to get out of bed. Methotrexate was like a miracle for me and I was back to normal. Taking it and the other RA drugs terrifies me but the alternative terrifies me even more. I wish you the very best.
I was on methotrexate pills then shots with very little side effects just a headache the day after injections. You have to take folic acid and citrate calcium as well. Switching to Remicade as it wasn't working.
