I have been receiving treatment for 8 months now and last Jan started on Plaquenil.That caused quite a lot of improvement but more recently I was getting quite tired and sore.I saw my Rheumatologist and now I have to commence on Methotrexate tonight.I am just interested in others experience.I am told it should bring about quite an improvemnt in my joints as well as my dry mouth and dry eyes.
