You mentioned your doctor is suggesting Methotrexate. Have you discussed your concerns of the side effects with your doctor and the possible alternative?

John, thank you for getting back to me. I know there are a lot of people on this site. I find this site very informative. My rheumatologist mentioned methotrexate during my virtual visit on Tuesday. I hadn't researched that drug until then. Sounds like both drugs have pros and cons. I will reach out to her today. My blood tests came back with elevated markers again. She was so on it in the beginning but like this site, I know I'm not her only patient. Thanks, again.
