@A myRAteam Member they make all the difference. My body rejected the pill form-too many gi issues and had more hair loss and side effects. W the injections i haven’t had half as many serious effects and minimal hair loss. I can tell when i miss a dose even by a few days.

I took methotrexate by pill and injection. With both I was terribly nauseous. Had unexplained bruising and hair loss. Dr. Changed me to Arava. No side effects. It helped. However I think it is about time to change meds again.

Yes I have been on it for two years. Have not had any problems, but everyone is different.
