@Jesssica Hello Jessica,

Thank you for your comment, have you read our fact sheet all about the medication methorexate? You can read it by clicking HERE. You can see what other members have already said about it.

Have any other members tried to the keto diet to help reduce swelling? Did you find it effective? Or do you have any other diet suggestions?

I have cut right back on wheat, gluten, diary, red meat, alcohol and nightshades and I think it's helping. It's certainly not doing any harm anyway and I've lost quite a lot if weight too which means less stress on my joints!
