Hi I'm new.
I just joined versus arthritis after being diagnosed recently with RA. I hope to learn a lot hear and also be able to contribute if I have any tips to give. I currently take 10 methotrexate tablets weekly and folic acid the other six days. I have just a bit of hair thinning but otherwise no other side effects. I have had this flare up for 3 months and its hanging on to my wrists and ankles. Living in hope of some remission - I guess we all are😊

I understand that you have been diagnosed with RA and are taking methotrexate and folic acid and that your current flareup is affecting your wrists and ankles. Our website has a lot of useful information and a good search facility and I would suggest you have a look around it, to help I've put a couple of links below that you might find of interest.
Please do keep posting and let us know how you are getting on and I am sure that others will connect with you to share their experiences as well.
With very best wishes
