Welcome @kmacky, I'm not sure if you saw my response to @petersgpcp23 so I thought I would provide a link to the reply - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/806885/.

Did your doctor stop the treatment to try something else?

Thanks for the link, John. So much info in everyone’s responses.👍
My doc did not stop the methotrexate. I did. The brain fog was overwhelming. But the first 12 days were wonderful! I had energy, ambition, no pain.
Then about day 16 , I was really hurting again so I started back with 4 methotrexate tabs (2.5 mg ea) instead of 6 and it’s helping. Haven’t seen doc, just started back in my own- will see him again in 3 weeks. He is a geriatric/internal doc and my primary.
Thx for your input!

Changed NYC med from .4 to .2 and prescribed Leucovorin Calcium tabs 25 mg (1) 12 hours after injection. Been on one month and no improvement.
