Methotrexate Injection

[Fred]

Fred, MTX takes approximately 4 to 8 weeks to show signs of improvement. The folic acid is given to reduce the side effects of the drug. If you are indeed having side effects,  you may call your dermatologist;  maybe all you need to do is tinker with the dosing of the FA.

Sure you already know this, but MTX does absolutely nothing for the back, but may help hands and feet fill better.

Thank you Matari, they have given a prescription for 3 months so I will give it a while longer before making  decision. I'm still not sure if what I'm experiencing is down to the methotreate, hence me keeping notes so I can look back.

At the moment it's my shoulders, elbows and knees that are the worst, hands and feet are still bad but I don't remember ever having it like this in my shoulders and knees.
