I'm a bit surprised methotrexate is all you've been on but apparently they're stumped about what to try?? MTX is the first medication they tend to try people on, there's loads more! I couldn't cope with methotrexate at all, so they tried sulphasalazine (and there's plenty more than that) so I'm a little confused. Fingers crossed they figure something out, and I'm glad you're healing now.
