I took my daughter to the Rheumy yesterday. He's willing to follow her and feels that there probably is a autoimmune disease. Does he know the name of it? No

He said he has no problem treating her for her symptoms.

He hates that she has to be on steroids to regain her hearing.

His suggestion is to start her on methotrexate. I'm suppose to talk with her ENT doc, talk with my daughter and basically figure out if we want to proceed this way.

So I'm asking you guys. What is your opinion on methotrexate for autoimmune disease?

What experience have you had with this drug and was it a favorable outcome?
Were there any bad side effects?

Thanks for any input you can give me.
