Re: Methotrexate and going back to work

Re: Feel very lost 😢
Hi Lillora Sorry you’ve also been through this during this time. I think it’s hard to focus on yourself when you have people couped up & going through so many issues with this virus as it is - everything else seems bigger. Hope you are doing ok - have no idea how to move on from this 3rd loss &a...
