Me tho and humira have made a big difference, plus the vitamins to support my system!

I had no side effects when on the methotrexate except a little more hair loss. It was starting to help but my blood work showed kidney & liver issues. They just took me off and bloodwork is improving but my pain & stiffness is returning.

I’ve been on methotrexate in the past. The pils didn’t do much for me but the injections really did help. After 2 1/2 to 3 years, I developed a chronic cough so I was taken off of it.

I do not take methotrexate so I can not say the doctor I have put me on 2.5 prednisone, 3 sulfasalazine daily but I only take one a day folic acid I also take D3 with K2 omega 3 6 9 turmeric with ginger. Don't know if it helping but I don't hurt as bad. he tell me my RA is not that bad yet and thank God that it is not. the swelling in my wrist won't go down but I have learn to live with that Life is Good

@A myRAteam Member,
I personally could not tolorate Methotrexate.
Now, having said that, there are many people that Methotrexate has helped for years. Make sure to discuss adding FolicAcid, to off set some of the side effects.
May I suggest that you keep a journal of date and the good or bad reactions to medication that you can share with your Rheumatologist.
I hope this helps.
