I am one of those that joined a while back and neglected to

introduce myself. But I have been lurking and reading the messages

regularly. I first posted a couple of days ago (message #46578) and

had NO IDEA that so many folks have PA. At least I have finally

convinced my GP that there is a good possibility that I do and he is

finally sending me to a rheumy later this month.

I do have a question: On average, how long does it usually take for

MTX to begin to help the symptons of PA? I was on MTX for four

weeks and it did nothing for me. Thanx.
