Hi Mig,

I just weighed in a 156lbs which isn't very much in kilograms. 70.9kg? If I remember right, I was taking 300 milligram at 135lbs when I last took it. Less risk exposure is what I like to hear too. Someone posted an article here about low dose remicade being just as effective as regular dose. I should go find that post.

"Both meds are immuno-suppressants but remi quiets one part of the immune system (TNFa), not the whole immune system like mtx does... as far as I understand."

That's how I always understood it too.
With the MTX injections, I could get on an low dose too. I took 3 mg before, but might be able to ask for even lower. I'll have to weigh out which one would be better for me, plus I would have to discuss all of this with a rheumy I think.

Thanks for the reply
Take care,
James.
