Methotrexate did not do me a bit of good but my lung doctor told me all it could do to your lungs so I just stopped taking it and then told the doctor. I did infusions without it which they said at the time Rituxan had never been tested without it but they went just fin e. I could not tell a difference with it gone a it did nothing for me. Debbie

I recently went off both Methotrexate and Humira while having covid, and was pleasantly surprised my arthritis really did not flare up. I after I think 5 weeks took an injection of both last night, and this afternoon fell asleep while talking on the phone. My friend's conversation was a little boring.
