Methotrexate has worked very well for my RA since starting it over 2 years ago. I recently started taking injections at the highest dose (1ml). To make the shots easier, I ask for allergy syringes as they are the smallest and work just fine. I've experienced a lot of hair loss/thinning and find that taking Biotin, 1-2 pills/day (over the counter and cheap!)has really helped. Dry mouth is also a ...

My wife age 48 now has used this for years now and it is what brought her back, not only from brink of death but kept her out of vegatative state. They had to give her massive doses via iv when she was going downhill fast. It took a while for her to come out of it, but she would not have survived otherwise. She has neurosarcoidosis and hydracephalus. She has been sick since 1986, and has been counted out many times, but has an incredible will to survive and an amazing faith in God. She never complains and just plows ahead, knowing that myself and our (now grown) two kids need her. Maybe she will even become a grandmother next year, but our daughter has illness issues as well and has lost her first two babies, with the third having trouble as well.Read More Read Less

This injectible medicine helped me with my red rash on face(across my cheeks&nose) my Crohns felt better when I was on it, AND my RA was better!Now that I'm off of it,my breathing(asthma) feels better. My skin problems are back though. It helped a lot of symptoms/ailments:pain,stiffness red face,diarrhea/pain from Crohn's-but caused serious RAWness in my nose tissues/ & sore mouth= Thrush.

I have Crohns. This is the only med so far to keep me in remission. I've been on it for 1 year with no adverse side effects. Today I've noticed sore lumps in my right armpit. I guess I'll have to go to the doctor and find out what they are all about.

Dr. prescribed Evoxac which works well but makes you sweat alot! Keep your mouth moist and visit your dentist regularly as consistent dry mouth can very quickly affect your teeth.

injections are somewhat difficult due to finding someone to give them. this med works for a while then you have to up the dose.but good overall.
