I've been back on mtx for nearly 2 years and haven't had any problems with it. I recently had my dose increased from 10 to 15mg and have taken 2 weeks so far and I've had a headache since Monday. Not sure if its the mtx or stress from work. Will have to see what happens when I take it next week, then maybe have to increase my folic acid. As for the neck pain etc, I also neck pain and get pins and needles in my arms and hands. I had an x ray and they found I have oa in my neck and lumps on my spine (cervical ridges). I was given physio and the pins and needles have gone. However I still get pain if I sleep on my front or look to one side for too long. Good luck with the mtx.
