Methotrexate: Common side effects from Methotrexate include mouth ulcers and they can effect White blood cell count and decrease immunity. However, that is what benefits with Rheumatoid as you need your immune system cooled down. https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Side-effects-and-management-of-rheumatoid. Also, consider looking in to food allergy testing.
