My son-in-law has 4th stage liver disease from methotrexate used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. The rheumatologist was not monitoring him at all. Makes me afraid to try it although it should be safe with proper monitoring.

It is potentially deadly without appropriate monitoring. My aunt died from MTX as her doctor never monitored her. Now I realize her death was many years ago, but the rules never change and are still broken.
