I take 2 mg folic acid everyday except on the day I take mtx. If my numbers (ESR & CRP) are sufficiently decreased my doctor may approve trying to decrease my dose of mtx. from 10 mg to 7.5 to see if sleep issues improve.
People are suggesting I try red light therapy. Does anyone know anything about its effectiveness?
