Hi Teddie, it sounds as if you really need a discussion with you RA care team. We all react differently to our medications, so I can't really help you. Have you heard of NRAS? It's well worth logging in. There is a lot of good and reliable information there. This is the bit about MTX. nras.org.uk/resource/methot... also have a help line 0800 298 7650. Give them a call if you don't get progress with your RA care team. All the best.
