Rheumatoid arthritis.

Hello! I was on methotrexate up to 20 mg for a year. I didn't have much of a response to it. I used Mega folinic from Source Naturals instead of the prescribed folate because it is more bioavalable.
I was on methotrexate and Humira for about 6 month, with barely measurable difference.
I'm off meds since January, until 2 weeks ago, when I started low dose naltrexone at 4.5 mg. I'm hoping it will help with fatigue and inflammation.
I had low-grade nausea from methotrexate. I read that taking dextromethorphan along with it can help with side effects.
My liver enzymes were checked every 3 months, and didn't rise until the last month I was on methotrexate.
This is just my experience. Many people have experienced success with these treatments, and I hope your experience is successful!

Hi, I see two of you mentioned taking folate. Please explain why folate is good for patients with RA as my husband has it and is only on plaquinil. His hands are most affected by the RA.
