Methotrexate

Can anyone tell me if they have tried methotrexate. My doc wants me to try it. If so, how much and what side effects did you have. I am frightened to start it even though I am in so much pain. Thank you

  1. Hello! While you wait for others to chime in and share their experience with methotrexate, I wanted to share with you a thread where some members have talked about what they experienced using this as a treatment option. You can access the forum here: https://axialspondyloarthritis.net/forums/stopping-methotrexate. Here's also an article that talks about possible side effects that you might find helpful: https://axialspondyloarthritis.net/treatment/dmards. I know deciding to start a new medication can be a hard choice, but hopefully hearing from others and having more information about what to expect can help you feel a little more comfortable making the decision that’s right for you. Of course, your doctor can also help you weigh the potential benefits and risks based on your individual situation. All the best to you, and please do not hesitate to reach out if you need more resources! Kindly, Latoya (Team Member)
