Hi @sherw, as @alysebrunella suggested, talk to your doctor about Methotrexate if you haven't already. They can best guide you on what to expect and if it might be an option for you. Write down all of you current symptoms, questions and concerns, so they are documented and you can bring them up with you doc when you speak.

You might also considering asking things like these questions from the Agency for Healthcare Quality and Research. You can even print this out and bring it with you to the appointment!

Hi, this is just one experience not a medical suggestion. Because of years
searching for answers for myself and daughter, she has been getting her
degree Intergrated Health Management and Nutrition and Health Coach. (Private message me if you want her email.)
This is her story on Methotrexate . Caused severe
problems for my daughter. She was being treated for chrons. She had an
abscess on her liver that had to be drained , an abscess in her neck lymph
node, at that point they suspected lymphoma and her white blood cell ( I
believe) were severely low so off methotrexate. She has been on prednsone
for quite awhile. It defiantly has some side effects, bone loss seems to be
the worst for her but of everything it seems to have less side effects and
antiviral. For her and me we have battled for so long and I have come to
realize there is no cure. It is about spiritual, mental, physical care.
