• I was in my late 40's, when I was prescribed methotrexate, for my arthritis. My doctor gave me the strongest dosage allowed by law. I am the kind of person that I need very strong meds to help me. I have been on many different medications since then, for different problems which I have. I know take the strongest pain medication allowed by law, and still have pain, so he just gave me a different script to go with the other one.
  Not for my arthritis though, I have a rare nerve disease (CIDP) that is very painful.
  It helps me to go onto websites with QnA, helps keep my mind off of my problems. I like answerbag, keeps me on my toes!! :)
