Blister or soar in mouth from Methotraxate?

I noticed several times that I at times get what feels like a blister way back on my gum. I forgot to mention it to my RA doc at the last visit. I know he used to ask me if I had any soars in my mouth. But lately he hasn't asked. I just noticed I have one again same spot. Anyone else has had this??

Did anyone have RA flare constantly after starting Methotrexate?

I started MTX 2.5 weeks ago and besides the exhaustion and nausea the 24 hours after taking it, I’ve been fine with no side effects. I have been having more flares. A lot more swelling, pain and that flushed feeling of a low grade fever. Anyone else have worsening of RA symptoms after starting MTX?

Exhaustion an issue for you?

Complete exhaustion is a problem that most have but doctors seem to brush off as a non issue.
There are times when out of nowhere I can't keep my eyes open and basically collapse.
It been happening more and more.

Same here. I have fibromyalgia as well. I used to be so high energy and since 2003 I’m so tired. It’s so embarrassing. Makes me feel so useless.
