Comment:
I have been on methotrexate for 8-9 years, I've been telling my Dr. that my bones and joints ache(hurt) also I get very cold and can't get my body warmed up, with out laying on a heated mattress pad for lengths of time. How do I get my Dr. to listen to me and try a different drug? so I don't have these side effects?

I have been taking this for 2 years with minimal effectiveness. I continued because some was better than none. I had some side effects like hair loss and fatigue. I have added a nutritional cleansing routine this year and that has given me my life back. I'm hoping to be off meds soon.

Have been taking 15mg weekly for 14 months without a flair-up. Some almost insignificant pain in my thumbs. Have been off steroids for 6 months. I have had no side effects so far. I am happy with the results
