I think I was leaning toward going ahead and letting her try it. Then yesterday I looked it up. Now I'm scared. The warnings on the med say death from toxicity a million times.
Now I'm worried. And I'm not sure what to do now.

I took it for a year and I am still here. Yes there are side effects of MTX. I already answered your post in the MS forum.
A very close friend of mine is on MTX for Rheumatoid Arthritis and has been since she was 15. She is now 30. She is doing well. I believe for every success story there is a failure. It is a tough decision. No kidding about it. It's a very strong drug.
Good luck with your decision. It is a personal one. Every day.
