off methotrexate despite the drug having no affect on my symptoms and allowing my symptoms to get worse every single day. It took the trust 3 years to diagnose me and I'm still on the same pointless drug for 13 months. Does anyone else find this barbaric process of treatment by NHS as Victorian? I'm almost suicidal...
