Subject: Stopping MTX. help
what is going to happen now? im in a flare now as its not working properly and im wondering if im going to flare massively as it leaves my body? What else is there to try if the MTX hasnt been working? (the esr and crp are creaping up month by month) Anyone who is new to MTX or about to start it, dont worry about this drug because for many it works wonders... remember everyone is differant :)

kirst i will just repeat what my OT told me - my factors are also increasing as the steroid is wearing off so they are putting me on plaquenil in addition to metx? if that doesn't work then it will be embrel which is really effective but also really expensive so they are forced to try all these other ones first. They might also give me another large steroid shot but that will be my lot for the year so they would prefer not to.
