Ask tx doctor: One of the most important aspects of treatment in any disease is the Physician-patient relationship. Discuss your case with your treating dr. and let him/her know your hopes to get off the methotrexate. Ultimately, it will depend on how you feel on the natural treatments and a collaborative discussion with you and your doctor. Best wishes.
