Hi and welcome
I'm on Methotrexate but for spondylo arthropathy & osteosrthritis somcan not advise on your condition
I hope they are monitoring you correctly and getting your bloods taken weekly fortnightly monthly then 3 monthly
I have found it helps a little but will be going on to have it by injections as its said to work better but have to wait at least 4 - 6weeks as I have just had surgery so have to wait for my wound to heal.
I hope you get on well with the drug

Hello raggy78. It's nice to meet you. Mine is RA but the meds are the same and I'm on meth too. It's worked for me for about 13 years.

Without knowing much about you all I can say is don't expect it to work immediately (though occasionally it does), always keep up with your blood tests and don't expect to get any side-effects though, if you do, don't neglect them.

Arthritis isn't a good thing to have but, if you have it, this is a good place to be.
