Hello, @Ytee and welcome to the community.

I understand that you were diagnosed as having RA 18 months ago are now being treated with Methotrexate and Sulfasalazine. Many of us who have RA will recognise this progression. I have been on that regime for 6 years though I now take Hydroxychloroquine as the Methotrexate (that I injected weekly) started to give me trouble with my gut.
