Jim,
As Skilarence you pay €16.66 per gram for your DMF. I pay 2.5cents US per gram for my DMF, which is much less than methotrexate would cost me (about $50AU per 10mg weekly dose per year for mtx vs a bit over $2AU per 1.2 gram weekly dose per year for DMF). I have read of people with RA taking methotrexate for decades without ill effect, so I agree with you that it should remain a treatment option despite its imperfections.
Cheers
