I have suffered from Arthritis since I was 20. I have been controlling this condition up until about 3 mths ago when I experienced another flare up. Following three cortisone injections my specialist has put me back on Methotrexate. Is anybody else on it? I seem to be experienceing all the side effects going.

Also, is there a proven fact that it can effect fertility? Are there any less harmful substitutes?

My father is using a similar medication called Celebrex...however he started taking around 3 glucosomine tablets (herbal) a day and he cut down from having to take the Celebrex daily to twice a week...the Glucosomine takes about three months to take full effect but the wait is worth it he's much better for it and its a hell of a lot cheaper.

try alternative medicine instead yam yam, visit a herbalist and explain what you are taking and in what quantity he/she will recommend as what to take and how often.speak with your G.P. first though as you may need to be weaned off what you are already taking. you may even be able to reduce your dose of prescription drug and also take an alternative hope you feeling better soon xx
