I've recently been prescribed Methotrexate 50mg/2ml for my rheumatoid arthritis, and I'm a bit nervous about the side effects. I've read that it can be quite powerful and requires careful monitoring. Has anyone had experience with this medication? How has it worked for you? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm particularly concerned about the more severe side effects, like infections, bleeding, or even kidney problems. Did anyone have those problems? Is it manageable? How can I best manage it? Has anyone here been through this? Any guidance on dealing with the side effects, both short and long term? Thanks!
