all the best with that Mel, i do hope that you get answers to some of the questions at least.

with the folic acid- I know that it can cause the MTX not to work as well when you are on higher doses of the folic acid. You might want to add that to your long list!RollEyes

just some better symptom relief would be nice eh?!
