Hi my name is Sharon im 36 yrs old and was diagnosed four yrs ago with inflammatory RA i have been on methatrexate since i was diagnosed 20mg dosage for the last three half years, i have alwys told my consultant that i didnt feel the medication was working but all i got told was my inflamatory levels were good (all i knew was that my joints werent ) last week i was seen by a different consultant who took one look at my hands and gave me a steroid injection and would now also like me to consider taking new med as well waiting for app with rhume nurse to discuss the med but i was wondering if anybody has had any experience with this drug all feedback would be brill.

Hi Sharon72

I was on sulfa along with methtrexate, sulfa made me uwell, after 8 months or so, taken off that and I am now on Enbrel ijnections along with methrexate, and im so much better, less flare ups, altho having a major flare up at mo..... we are all different, so mb sulfa will be fab for u...I just felt sick all the time whilst on it

dont feel so sick, but methtrexate does on occasions make me feel sick too, but its a trade up really isnt it, the Meds help the joints, but there will always be side affects im afraid, worse in some than others....but it is def worth trying
