New here, diagnosed in August

[Guest guest]

Hi. I found this site the other day and have been reading alot of

the old messages. Very informative. I was dx in August with RA.

I'm 51 and live in very HOT Central California. Finally got into the

rheumy last week. Started on prednisone and methatrexate and folic

acid. Took my first dose of mtx Saturday night and this afternoon,

boy was I tired. I only wish there was a bed at work!

Hello and welcome to the group.

I only take my MTX at night. That way I get to sleep it off.

Hugs, Jacy

Welcome to the group, sorry you are sick. I take the Mtx on Friday night without the folic acid and plan on sleeping most of Saturday. That way I can get stuff done on Sunday and be able to work on Monday.

Have fun,
