Is Arava A Safe Medicine For The Treatment Of Rheumatoid Arthritis?
I have RA and Fibromyalgia. I had been taking Methotrexate injections once a week for 3 years until m liver counts kept going up. I was pulled of the MTX about 3 months ago and now my rheumy wants to start me on Arava. I am petrified of all these toxic medications. Is their any comfort you can offer on these meds? I am more afraid of the meds than the disease. Thank you.
