This is great.. sadly some links seem to be gone.. possibly the age of posts? I was actually looking for methotrexate posts..but how wonderful to have all of the med info in one place. Thank you !!!

Yeah, some of the threads disappeared during the great server crash a few months (or last year??) ago. And the formatting is horrible.

I'm working on building a new meds thread, but don't have time to do much work on it just now.
