    I hope it has started to work for you, I find that most of my medications begin to work suddenly when they have time to build up enough in my system. It's like waking up one day and someone has flicked a switch

    I hope it's working, Maria, but if not who cares? You're feeling a bit better and that's the main thing :D

    Still going well
    I even managed walking round Northumbria University with very little rest!
    I've missed 2 of the previous university trios with Hubby and son as I was suffering at the time
    I did pay the price with my operated foot but the rest of me was ok
    So onwards and upwards I hope
    Hope alls well for you all today

    Hi Paul
    I hope so too
    The tablets did nothing for me started them in January this year and Metoject in August so it was 2 months before the Metoject kicked in
    They do say it can take up to 12 weeks for the meds to kick in so no quick fix I'm afraid he thing with our meds and condition it's a matter of trial and error and what works for one does not work for another
    Here's to the methotrexate working ASAP

    it sounds positive maria, fingers crossed and enjoy. remember those muscles may be a wee bit lazy if you havent been too mobile so go easy on them. have you done any hydrotherapy? I wouldn't jump into swimming but finding a warm pool and walking around in it was great for me coming out of a bad phase.

    enjoy !

    Hi Thistle
    I did hydrotherapy for my knee a couple of years ago did enjoy it and felt good afterwards but me and swimming pools don't go together I can't stand water in my face I get freaked out and think I'm going to drown! Silly I know
    I won't even get my face wet in the shower as I get the same feeling although I can wash my face in the sink!
    I'm an odd bod really
    oops it's methotrexate time

    Hi Sarah
    It took mine from starting on tablets to injecting myself 10 months to work
    Pew are all different and what works for one doesn't for another
    I hope it starts working for you soon
    Maria :)
