Methotextrate

Hi;
I am a 44 year old female.  I have progressive RA, Lupus query, and SJogrens Syndrome.  I have taken metho for three months, every week, 20mg. a week and already feel fabulous, with little or no symptoms each week.  Also, my blood counts have dropped considerably.  I wish I did this years ago.  I am back to work, trying to dance lol, and life is changing.  I still have problems with my hands from the damage butam trying to get them back to working fully again.   If you are afraid to use it don't be.  I'm afraid to come off.  Take Care Everyone and Keep Smiling!  Inthegruv!  yeah
