Ive been on MTX for 3 years now and although I only have minor flare ups about once a month I find Ive got so many more health problems. My biggest is that I have a restricted lung problem due to a partially paralysed diaphragm so I cant afford to get any chest infections. I am waiting for surgery but heaven knows when that will happen. I do not like being on MTX so has anyone changed to a different medication from MTX and if so which one and how is it? I only ever get a phone call from the RA Nurse once a year so no real monitoring going on altho I do have my regular blood tests which keeps showing high calcium readings. My GP is now looking into this.
