Rheum wants Kevzara but Methotrexate much cheaper, work as well?

Yes, I am no longer taken prednisone ( I took it for about 5 weeks). I started Methotrexate about three months ago. It takes several weeks to kick in, but I feel 85%-95% better. It really depends on the day. I also take folic acid ((1mg) every day to offset any possible side effects from the Methotrexate.

Thanks so much for letting me know. I'm 73 with sleep apnea, chronic pain and breast cancer (had lumpectomy) but very concerned about all the things I read about Methotrexate. Breathing issues are a big concern for me because of sleep apnea. I use C-PAP but still want to be cautious with any meds. I read te Folic acid. Thanks again, I appreciate your help. Glad you're doing so well.
