I have been diagnosed for nearly 2 years now and I have been finding the methotrexate a benefit for six months after taking it some a year before feeling any help. Smile .I find the forum a great help.

Smile hi Claire

Welcome to the forum, any questions - friendly people here will be able to assist!
Glad your methtrix going well for you. Are you able to carry on like before?

I've been off it nearly two years - trying for a baby.........feeling the effects from being off it now. Probably have to go back on it when I see the lovely rhemy doctor.

How's things with you?
Take care
Jane

Welcome Claire

A wonderful bunch of folks here, just a shame we have RA to get to know them.

Hope the methotraxate continues to do well for you :)

Hi Claire - welcome to the forum. I'm 54 with 4 teenage kids at home, and was diagnosed in May this year, so I'm very new to it all. I'm glad to hear the MTX is working so well for you - long may it continue! I started MTX 2 weeks ago, so it's too early to feel any benefit but your post is brilliantly encouraging.

Very best wishes - Sylvia xx

Hi Claire,
Welcome to the site, shame we all have to meet this way.
I was diagnosed this earlier this year am also on MTX.
Hope it continues to work well for you.
Lots of knowledgable people on this site but you probably know that already.
All the best
Mary

Hi Claire, and welcome to the forum. The fact that the Methotrexate took 6 months to work for you just shows that we need the patience of saints sometimes with dmards. I've just started taking it again after a break, and I'm waiting in hope. I hope we'll hear more from you in future. This is a great forum with so many people available to offer support and advice. Best wishes from Naomi.

hi Claire,

welcome aboard.

glad to hear Methorexate is working for you,

one thing i learnt quickly is that each drug does take time to work, so glad for you.

i'm on a combination each one added after about 6 months and not doing too badly now.

keep posting you will find a lot of help here,

Suzanne x
