    • Thanks

      From jennybyc Tuesday

      Thank you for the nice welcome. Think I'll be on low dose MTX next week. 25mgs/week was just too high! Maybe 15mgs/week will do better.

      From lycesq November 4

      Ruthy - hi! I've added you to my friends list but wanted to warn you that I come with recipes! I journal at least a couple times a week and include recipes at the end so I send a message to my friends about what the recipe is so they can check it out and copy it if they choose. I love to cook! Yesterday's recipe was Beef and Provolone Pinwheels - an appetizer.

      Welcome to DS!

      Welcome, I would love to hear your story from someone who has it RA for so many years. Ive had it only for 3 years so I like to hear from people who have had it a lot longer. Kris
