Advice & Tips: I failed traditional methotrexate treatment due to major nausea & vomiting. My rheumatologist switched me to Arava and after about 2 months of taking it, I noticed a big difference in my RA symptoms....they were starting to disappear. My c-reactive protein lab tests now are almost normal! I highly recommend it to people who can't tolerate methotrexate. It works wonders for me!
