good luck, I was on mtx for about 8 months and my liver enzymes started

creeping up, stayed the same for awhile and started going high and fast this

time, make long story short, it was damaging my liver and now my rheumy cant

treat my RA as aggressively as he wants to because I cant do mtx or

anything like it.

I have the same problem! MTX did terrible things to me. I can't take it. 40mg a

day of prednisone and my inflammation # was still 110. Dr lowered it to 30mg a

day because 40 isn't a good amount to be on but.... At 30 it's not doing what

it's supposed to!!!!

My first appt with my new rheumy is July 12. I SO hope he's more understanding

than the last 1 and can find a way to help me!
