Hi Sammy!

I have just come across your post and would like to think I can relate to you. I am 21 with RA, diagnosed at 18 months.

I too have been on Methotrexate and it made me super poorly, with my hair falling out in clumps, and it brought my moods down drastically as a result. I have since tried a few medications but due to such a bad experience, I am struggling to take anything at all. I have been prescribed sulfasalazine and hydroxycholoroquine but I can't say I have had any luck in taking them.

What medication have you been prescribed instead? And how are you getting on?
