Welcome back to humanity ! Sorry to hear about

the nasuea, but glad to hear it's having some positive

effects. I just started the mtx about 2 months ago.

Before that I was on Remicade alone. Initially it was

working, but then my body started tolerating it. SInce

they added the mtx, I've be much better. I hope you

have the same luck. Good luck with your belly.

Glad to hear you're feeling better! Methotrexate is a very helpful

medicine. A little tinkering (perhaps switching to injectible, like

you mentioned) could make things even better. Be sure to communicate

well with your doc for best results.
