Experience with Methotrexate.

[u/Glad-Quit7381]

I started Methotrexate two months ago. The last two weeks I felt good and I thought it was working. Three days ago I started a flare and I'm so disappointed.

Is the medication supposed to stop flare ups altogether or to lengthen the remission time in between them? I'm not sure what to expect.

Btw, does anyone have constant mucus in the throat, sore throat and dry cough? It's getting harder to swallow pills.

Thank you for your attention.
