BAM! Can be either "Bad Arthritis Moment" or "Beautiful Arthritis Moment"

Arthritis definitely adds "spice" to one's life. So, I created this BAM blog (thanks to Emeril for the inspiration) to chronicle those arthritis challenges and yes, those beautiful moments, whether it is a new coping strategy, someone reaching out to help, or something to take my mind off of my pain and disability. Hope you will be inspired and also offer your own "BAM" experiences!

BAM! Bad Arthritis Moment....Methotrexate Headaches

I have a "love/hate" relationship with methotrexate. Studies have shown that taking Biologics (in my case, Humira) will work longer and more effectively if taken along with methotrexate (MTX.) But, I DREAD the weekly dose of this toxic medication. I have my sunglasses ready for the light sensitivity, can deal with the GI problems, but the killer headaches....they almost defeat me. Any ideas?
