Let's hope that does the trick. I was the other way round, he started me off on 400mg HCQ then introduced 15mg MTX tablets. That didn't work so HCQ was withdrawn & 20mg MTX injections until my liver objected so he reduced it to 15mg & been on it ever since with a few additions along the way & I'm now controlled. Hope it sorts you out.

Had my flu jab last week & not questioning pneumococcal!
