I have been diagnosed with RA and will be starting Methotrexate this weekend after a month on Steroids. I also have Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis is there anyone else who has both? The hospital tell me I am very unusual as they have never had a patient with both.

I don't, but many sympathies - what a horrible combination! Hope the MTX makes a big difference for you. Polly

I've asked everywhere, every neurologist, rheumatologist at every conference, wellness seminar, you name it...I've been told, so what, what difference does it make (in deciding which one is "acting up") OMG! You are a god-send!!!! How are you????
