I've recently been diagnosed with this and am struggling to accept it. Over 6 months I've gone from a swollen toe and some aching joints to being on Methotrexate (which reduces your immune system) and consequent fortnightly blood tests. I am crying every day. I hate having bloods taken - but I know they have to check my liver function. Does anyone else have this? I'm also developing psoriasis, which doesn't bother me too much at the moment. I feel like jacking the medication but I'm so scared of what could happen to my joints. Just interested in anyone else's experience really...
