Thanks jiml
Yeah not too concerned about folic acid, I did ask about buying it over the counter at the chemist(pharmacy) but they said it was 12 times stronger than what they give pregnant women at 5mg but they typically take it daily.
All in all I am not a big fan of taking drugs of any description and have had far more than I want to this year with surgery so just being cautious hence as much research as possible and even the anecdotal input, even though Fred shout poison whenever he hears of MTX!
Everyone is different and I need to adjust to taking these long term if its successful at all which I think will be oK. Luckily its only a once a week so not 3 times a day every day etc. Certainly beats applying lotions and potions twice a day and nothing happening. Ah the early days of everything stinking of coal tar and being stained.
