My sister has had horrible results from MTX, so next week think the Rheumy will be offering biologics, what can she expect within reason, are they better tolerated, and are you closely monitered?. Mtx made her very ill after just 2 doses, and affected her liver reading quite badly...Would be interested to know how other people with RA have found them....Thank You

You should be reassured by the monitoring process. I am on MTX which means the have to check blood results as it can cause liver problems.
It becomes part of your routine after a while so I am sure she will be fine with that.
I cant comment on the new medicines she will be taking
