    Hi - I am 34 and take Methotrexate alonside various other serious drug therapies and you cannot get DLA due to the drugs you take.

    Meth is apparatnly one of the best drugs for arthritis and has amazing results (apparantly - not for me!!).

    I was very reluctant to go on it due to the other drugs i am on but eventually agreed - it;s not as bad as it sounds !

    Why cant you get dla because you are on that drug?
    Thanx

    Atm, im not taking methotrexate, i was just expressing that it made me think about my condition and I'm not applying soely on the fact that i take the arthritis meds i take now or would take but on the fact on in alot of pain and doing simple tasks are difficult and i could really do with the help.
