@tisme, I think that could be a difficult question for anyone to answer but it is definitely something I would discuss with my doctor or a rheumatologist. Here's some information that might shed some light on your question and would be good to discuss with your doctor.

"Getting the wrong dose of this arthritis drug is common, and it can lead to irreversible eye problems."

Have you had a chance to discuss it with your doctor?
