I hope Jordan starts feeling some relief soon.
I Started MTX 8 Weeks ago and my Rheumatologist told me that i'd see a start of improvement within 6 weeks... if anything i've got worse!
at 8 weeks im still waiting for even a little bit of improvement..... I've gotta see him next week, dont know what to expect.

Best wishes for it kicking in really soon.
MTX is very weird, so far I've not heard of anyone who's said it's wonderful and works perfectly. There must be someone out there and I've missed them?!
It took about 12 weeks to kick in and during that time I felt worse rather than better however after what seemed like an eternity I could distinctly feel a difference, particularly in my hands and feet.
I was using it in addition to Enbrel (Etanercept) which also took its time making its presence known but has ended up helping me immensely.
Now I am off these drugs and on steroids and loads of pain killers in prep for TTC and I really, really miss the benefits of Mtx and Enbrel. Ho hum, the choice has been mine so we shall wait and see what happens.
