Oh, interesting; thanks for the links! One thing you might find notable is that my gastro wasn't the one who put me on MTX, even though he's the one who put me on infliximab—a rheumatologist suggested it. Although that rheumatologist didn't have me on MTX when I'd previously been taking adalimumab under his care. Not sure why he suggested it for one TNFi and not the other!
And yeah, I'm also inclined to think "better safe than sorry" here, especially with how cheap generic MTX is :P
Re. the folic activity: this does seem like it could explain a lotttt of negative experiences I've heard! It doesn't seem like I'm one of the 40%, but my dose just might be too low to tell. If I ever need to up my dose, I'll definitely ask my rheumatologist about Rheumate :)
