Same once June comes if it’s not helping I’m switching plus I think it’s upsetting my stomach my colon is one foot shorter now always had problems but they stopped until I started the methotrexate regardless of no magnesium which my dr said was the problem. I’m trying to give her some time but I just don’t think this is the right medication for me. And I broke my toe 36 days ago and it’s still not fully healed my podiatrist said it’s bc of the meds it’s suppressing my immune system so now it’s taking longer to heal. I hope you find a better medicine that helps 🙏🏻

I use injectable once a week. I don’t have any bad side effects but I’m not on my full dose yet. So far it really isn’t helping

I’m only on 0.3 because I’m so sensitive to side effects not sure if il be on it after June. I want to explore other injections because pills really mess up my ibs which I still have an ongoing battle with. I feel like I’m 60 instead of 40 it feels like my body just hates me.

Methotrexate for rheumatoid arthritis is typically prescribed at a dose between 10 milligrams (mg) and 25 mg each week. It's usually taken once per week on the same day, though sometimes it may be split into multiple doses per week to help with absorption and reduce side effects. The medication can be taken as a tablet, oral solution, or injection. You can take it with or without food, and at any time of day that works best for you. Regular blood tests will be needed to monitor your response to the medication and check liver function. It typically takes 3-6 weeks to begin seeing improvement in symptoms, with full effects noticed around 12 weeks.
