I have been on pills and injections for years. I had to switch to inections of Methatrexate both me and my doc said it would minimize side affects and it did. I am on .8 and have self injected for over four yrs. now on and off.
Since my last flare last yr 2007-8 I have been on inj. for over 14 months now with only slight problems like vitamin deficiency, few sores on lips but no more flares!!!
Good Luck,
Judi
