I just started taking MTX. On my third dose. It doesn’t seem to lessen pain from PMR. What is your experience? Does it take some time before MTX helps with pain? Thank you.

My doc told me it takes months for MTX to build up in system and to really have an effect. I am in month 2 of MTX and am tapering down the prednisone. It is a very slow process. I am living with some pain but yes I think the MTX is helping.
