Hi I've been taking methotrexate on and off for 5/6 years now and I hate it. The side effects are terrible and my liver enzymes skyrocket with it. Without it I flare regularly and can't even dress myself or brush my hair. I'd like to hear about other options because I wasn't given any. I was also diagnosed with sjogren's at the same time as RA. I was started on plaquinol and methotrexate. I'd love to find a different medication or better yet a non pharm. treatment. Thank you in advance for any information.

Do you take a medication that is not methotrexate? Do you do any natural treatments that help with your RA?

Please share!

Take care,
