Hi all on my 3th week taking methotrexate for rheumatoid-arthritis and pain got much worst.
Only take solpadeine sometimes but find them no good, how long before any improvement.
Thank you.

I only knew out when I was told to come off one of the medication while continue with MEX so it does take times. Patience does required.
They should be monitoring your RA level and other bits and pieces each time you have blood test so you know whether you are improving or it's still the same.
I agreed with Tia - MEX is only recommended one day a week. They should increase gradually rather than giving you higher doses, which probably why you are feeling hangover but beware of the side effects.
I used to sleep alot but now I don't sleep in the day and sleep most nights now as the pains reduce slowly.
The only things I recommended is to do your researches (with helps of your family or partner) and ask the doctors questions as much as you can to understand it. At the same time, changing diets (don't eat junks foods and any citrus foods), rest and jointace gel should helps along.

The only reasons why they wanted me to take that stronger painkillers is because it will helps to reduce the pains quicker because the other medications take a while to settle and take under control of the pains so thats one of the reasons why I was on it for a while.
I still get the pains when I do certain things and trying to build the strength at the moment so I can be painless.
Oh dear. That doesn't helps. Hope the meds will settle in sooner for you.
Your welcome. It was recommended by few professional people.

Hey, I just started Methotrexte for my psoriatic arthritis, and am wondering how long before you felt any joint relief. I am so far very disappointed in what I am reading, and how long people are saying before it works. Give me some good news, please??
