Hi everyone! I just discovered this support community and look forward to reading your posts and sharing experiences together.

A little about me... Im an almost 39 mom and wife and have lived with inflammatory arthritis for 10 years but was just recently diagnosed. I have kept my symptoms under control for all those years using natural alternatives but unfortunately the disease has progressed and I’m now being treated with methotrexate injections . Haven’t been having a good experience with medication overall and mtx really does a number on me. I tried medical CBD oil and had some positive results but became very expensive and my doctor isn’t too keen.

Look forward to finding ways to manage side effects and improve quality of life and hopefully get this disease into remission... wouldn’t that be wonderful!!!

Welcome from me there are a lot of people on here who do go the natural and i know someone will be able to give you some very good advice. I go the medical way as i am a scaredy cat. Do you take folic acid as i know that helps,if your suffering badly the drs advise to take it six days a week,but not on the day of mtx. Have you tried that darling.xxx

Hi. And thank you. Yes. I take 5mg of folic acid daily except for mtx day. ☺️
