Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 hey HI! I began mtx in first week of Feb. I had major mobility issues and wound up totally bedridden and going out of my mind from pain and immobility. UG. (that is a long story, but husband is disabled, 2 of my 3 kids are, we had no health insurance so I could not get treatement) Began the mtx and it took awhile to start to help. We went out of town, actually to the ocean...were gone 2 weeks. I did get sunburnt, and it was much worse than usual, and I peeled much more than ever before---was it mtx or RA that caused that? BUT- the good news is in June while we were by the ocean, slowly ALL my outward symptoms of RA went away!!!! Was it the mtx finally? was it vacation? I do not know for sure, but it was AWESOME. We came back home mid June, and I did great till just this week, and now some symptoms are slowly creeping back- but- nothing is stopping me, and it is barely slowing me down. after 3 years being so sick, I am not ready to let it get me again that bad. Funny, I had begun to think the mtx would not help--- it seemes like it took a LONG time, from Feb to June. Whatever, I am grateful to be how I am right now. :-) Hang on to hope.
