Methotrexate, anything good about this drug?

Hello,

I finally had my appt with the new Rheumy and what a difference between this one and the last one.  She really listened to me and thoroughly examined me with more blood work, xrays etc.   Without having to send me off to a bunch of other doctors, she said immediately that I have Inflamatory Arthritis.  She said she wasn't going to name it as RA yet, but either way, they are treated the same.  She talked to me, discussed treatment options and really made me feel comfortable.   She is starting me on Methotrexate which I'm a little nervous about.  I've read so much junk about it on this site, I'm wondering if there is anyone out there who has had some good resuls with it, without too many side effects?

Thank you all for listening.
