Re: Methotrexate?

I didn't have any reaction-just nausea and dizziness after taking it. I also got mouth ulcers and my hair thinned horribly. I took folic acid daily and also took plaquenil. It takes about 12 weeks to tell if it's working or not.

Re: Methotrexate?

Hey Carolina I hope the medicine works for you because I really do believe that it helped me with my pain. Right now the doctor is stepping back and not putting me on any DMARD's but he did put me on Mobic but it is really starting problems with my stomach. I am having a lot of problems with my knees which he told me was bone on bone but he has only done x-rays and no CT scans or MIR's. I am thinking about going back to my regular GP and see if she can order some more testing.

Good luck with the Methotrexate because I know it can help with the pain or it did for me.

Linda
