Hi Viv
It's probably best to post this question on the Living with arthritis forum.
Methotrexate is one of the disease modifying drugs proscribed for PMR, usually if steroid tablets are not effective or appropriate for you.
For more information on PMR see our factsheet at http://www.arthritiscare.org.uk/PublicationsandResources/Listedbytype/Factsheets#cK45 or at http://www.arthritisresearchuk.org/arthritis_information/arthritis_types_and_symptoms/polymyalgia_rheumatica_pmr.aspx.
For information on methotrexate see http://www.arthritisresearchuk.org/arthritis_information/arthritis_drugs__medication/methotrexate.aspx.
You are welcome to ring the helplines on 0808 800 4050 if you want to have a chat about your current situation.
Regards
Nick

Dear Viv,
The organisation PMR/GCA UK would be worth knowing about too - they can be very supportive.
