Works well for me. Took a bit of getting used to, but once my body got accustomed to it, side effects are minimal. It certainly helps control the RA.

I started with the tablets and last 7 weeks, awful nausea and vomiting. Moved onto injection but lasted 5 months. I also couldnt take folic acid which didnt help at all.
I'm now on a biologic which has helped.
Mtx wasnt for me.
It took about 6 weeks to notice a difference and about 10 weeks to feel much better
Good luck . Wish you well
