Can anyone let me know their experiences with Methotrexate?
Hope u r feeling better
My doctor recently started me on Methotrexate. Since then my hands and knuckles are killing me. I’ve never had such pain in my hands!
Anyone else feel worse after starting methotrexate?
I was on it for 2 years as it quit working. Made me hurt so my rhuemy said just use the hydroxychlorquine, we had to increase it to 300mg to help with the hives.

Anyone have experience with metholtrexate? I'm supposed to start it today

I’m not looking for common AE’s, I’m looking for serious AE’s associated with long term use (PML, malignancies, serious infections, liver & renal impairment, etc). Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your experience 🥰
