Is Methotrexate helping your TED?

Manda29
I have severe TED have been on methotrexate since Jan 09. I stopped talking it in June and noticed after a few weeks my eye symptoms were getting worse. I went back on it in August and stopped again on Oct 5 and am again noticing an increase in swelling.
Is anyone else on methotrexate and do you think it is working for you?
Thanks for any info!
