.. I had an exceptional experience with the methotrexate and after 7 months of treatment and weaning off of the drug, I have been flare free and meds free (absolutely no maintenance doses of anything) for 2-1/2 years now.

Kathleen,

I'm SO glad you wrote. What a great testimony for MTX. I believe that's the quickest I've heard of anyone getting off metho.....and no flares for 2 1/2 years. Fantastic!!! I'm so happy for you. Would you mind telling me a little of your history with MTX....what dosage you started with, how soon you started getting results, any side effects, etc? Thanks so much for writing. I'm like you in that I read most of the posts, but don't write unless I have a question or feel I can contribute in some worthwhile way.

Love,
