I’m new to the forum and have had RA diagnosis since early 2022. Methotrexate was prescribed which I take weekly.
I find this mostly makes joint pain ok.
I have recently noticed (November ‘23) issues in the bedroom whereby interest is lost or erections seem weaker. Is this common in men?
I’m also not sure if there is change to colour around the edge of penis tip or if I’m imagining things.
Looking online it shows as a very rare side effect of methotrexate.
But also does show as a link to vascular issues if not psychological.
I will update my Rheum team about this today and ask what extra screening/monitoring I should /could be having.
I only have appts every 6months at the moment, and they don’t feel that beneficial. Very “in/out keep taking drugs as normal”.
