im 22 &have had RA for 5 years, ive been on methotrexate this whole time and im so fed up with it.i inject 20mg/week, i take folic acid, meloxicam(mobic),lansoprazole,ferrous sulphate, amitriptyline and a load of multi vitamins&minerals. as you can imagine this cocktail makes me feel crap not on top of the world like the consultants think!
