Thank you so much for sharing. Other than needing the folic acid, were you told of any negative side effects from Methotrexate, like hair loss? I'm worried that this is a chemo drug. I will find out more tomorrow when I see my RA doctor.

The only thing I was told - if I didn't take the Folic - I would know by the side effects ---- that was it -- no hair loss ----- yet

No side effects mentioned regarding the Methotrexate

I read only 10% of people taking methotrexate have hair loss.
I took my first injection of methotrexate on Friday. So far I'm doing well. I look forward to being more functional in the near future. Right now I shuffle around like I have Parkinson's. I'm only sixty years old. I became sick with PMR when I was recovering from a case of Covid-19.
