Jim,
You are much better off with a specialist than without. I might have the freedom to play about with dosages, and I can get blood tests, but if the treatment stops working I have the choice of going on mtx or nix. Fortunately things continue to go very well for me. I have got better results by concentrating doses. My overall drug intake has decreased, and taking doses once every three days seems to give the best control of my arthritis.
