Do you take the folic acid every day? Only I have a vague recollection that they reduced the dose or number of times a week that I took it, and it helped reduce the nausea.
Also, I found that mtx worked to begin with but then the p started creeping back in, they increased my dose of mtx but it didn’t work - so it’s possible you will get moved on to something else.
There’s a very disturbing belief our doctors have, which is if medicine isn’t working, the most likely reason is the patient isn’t taking it properly/ at all. When I heard that, I found it really offensive but I think I’ve come up against it because I’ve had many treatments fail on me a lot faster than the doc expects and they never seem very pleased with me..
