Hi, this may be the study I've been on. It's called RAMS and the Univ of Manchester are trying to find out who will benefit from taking MTX and who may have side effects.I decided to do this hoping it might help other people. I started the study at the same time as starting MTX in May. It doesn't take up too much time, you have short interviews (which my hospital has fitted in around other appointments) and fill in a very short diary once a week. If you need any more info let me know. Good luck.
Caroline.
That's research that would be great if it provided an answer! imagine if they could work out in advance what would suit you, and all the misery that would be avoided. Well done for bothering to take part. Px
