Two weeks ago I started taking methotrexate and folic acid. This week I am very pleased to tell everyone that I have no symptoms at all . Except for elation at ‘ feeling ‘ absolutely normal!!! Absolutely heavenly. Long may it last.

    Fantastic to hear. After reading lots of scary comments about MTX this brings some reassurance and hope. I was diagnosed with RA today and prescribed this drug. So nervous and undecided whether to start it.

    I understand that you have recently been diagnosed and prescribed Methotrexate, you might find the following article from our website of interest.
