@annewoodmayo Thanks for your responses! Apparently the insurance is using a study that showed SAria was more effective when combined with methotrexate when treating moderate to severe Rheumatoid Arthritis. Since my AI disease, Relapsing Polychondritis, is so rare, the rheumatologists use the protocol for treating RA which I have very mildly. If I had psoriatic arthritis, I wouldn't have to take Methotrexate! I am realizing how crazy our health care and health insurance really is! 🙂

@cruiser1 I forgot to mention that I have taken methotrexate twice before with no improvement in symptoms and some loss of hair when I stopped taking it! That's why I really don't want to take it again! 🙂
