Well I have a daughter with JRA and I have Lupus!. However she has not taken Metho!. but I have!. There are some side effects!. I did get a headache the day after and I did lose some hair - not a lot, but it did thin out and I was not able to eat or smell fish, which prior to that was my favorite food ! Other then that it did help a lot!. I am with your mom!. It should be avoided if at all possible!. There are a lot of treatments available!. remember Metho!. is a "mild" for of Chemo!.
