i could be wrong or the book i read could be wrong, but recently i read that "they" have concluded that mtx while working pretty well for a lot of RA patients, doesn't seem to work for AS. the book was a recently published medical textbook so i tended to believe that it was pretty up to date. interested if anyone else has read anything similar?
