Rheumatoid Arthritis Remission
I’ve recently discovered an E-book on the subject of rheumatoid arthritis relief called “Conquer Arthritis Now” by medical researcher Chris Callahan. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it’s the ultimate guide to understanding rheumatoid arthritis and putting an end to the pain it causes. This well-written document cites proven evidence from research studies and clinical trials to empower arthritis sufferers to take charge of their healing and conquer their pain for good. To Be Sure: Arthritis cannot be cured, but the symptoms of arthritis can. That’s why Conquer Arthritis Now focuses on easy, affordable ‘lifestyle management’ techniques that anyone can use to end pain and prevent it from coming back.

Rheumatoid arthritis?
My husband suffers from RA and is presently taking methatrexate, for treatment. Has anyone went into remission from this treatment. He stays really nauseated, and has to take meds for that as well. I see that people stay on this med for quite a while, I thought the objective was remission and discontinuing use.
Are there long term side effects from this drug?
methotrexate is a pretty potent drug that is used to treat certain types of cancers as well as RA. it can cause a whole load of side effects, including blood and bone marrow problems, fever, chills, bruising, lung problems (shortness of breath, cough), mouth sores, abdominal pain, liver problems (jaundice, yellowing of the eyes), kidney problems (blood in the utine), edema (swelling in the legs or other extremities), and others. nausea is a result of ANY drug that is used to battle cancer, and since methotrexate is considered to be a cancer drug as well, that is why he is experiencing nausea (i would assume he is taking zofran for the nausea, and if not, suggest that to your doctor as zofran is superior to most other anti-nausea meds for dealing with the nausea related to cancer medications). long term, i would say the main side effects is the problems it can cause to the blood/bone marrow, which may induce an anemia (lowered blood levels, such as lessened levels of red blood cells, which may cause you to bruise unusually or feel fatigued).
methotrexate is a great drug for RA, and patients have been known to really experience alof of comfort after taking it. RA never quite goes into remission, though. it is an autoimmune disorder that causes some major inflammation in the joints. it is a chronic disease and may not go away but the symptoms can be lessened with a course of methotrexate treatment. hopefully, your husband will begin to experience more comfort soon.
