My mother has been taking Methotrexate for past 3 years with other DMARDs. It initially seemed that things were improving, the doctor even started reducing steroids. But about 3 months ago, the doctor said it was increased again, and he prescribed weekly injection saying the RA is out of control. he recommends BioLogics.
