For 9 months, I've been taking 2,000 mg sulfasalazine daily, 1,000 mg naproxyn daily, added 7.5 mg methotrexate weekly a month ago, and recently increased methotrexate to 12.5 mg weekly. I'm still hurting!!! At what point do you move on to something else? How long does it normally take to get relief from methotrexate? Will I ever have a day that I'm not in pain?
Thanks to all of you for your replies, understanding, support, and for sharing your real life stories. This site is "wonderful" and I'm so thankful for it, and for you. It is my prayer that your needs will be met this day!
