Methotrexate is such a gnarly drug, my partner was on it for rheumatoid arthritis for a little bit, but the side effects were too awful for her to continue it. Luckily there was alternatives. Didn't know it was used in chemo!

It's used for any immuno related disease, it's crazy how many things it's used for.

Psoriasis, eczema and psoriatic arthritis being three that maybe you wouldn't think of when someone brings up methotrexate.
