Hi! I'm starting methotrexate tomorrow and I am petrified about taking it. Iv had anxiety about taking it for the past two weeks since my last Rheumatology appt. I will be taking 6 15mg in one go every Sunday then folic acid the following day for a 3 month course. I'm worried about the side effects, i have 3 young children and really concerned. Thank you for your videos I feel a little better about things. Kind regards 💙
Honestly don’t be petrified. But I hope you mean you will be taking 6 2.5mg tablets once a week so 15mg weekly? Because taking 90mg a week of methotrexate could be dangerous. Keep positive with it. It greatly benefitted me. Sending the good energy your way
I’m on methotrexate , week 9. Have to do 12 wks mtx before my insurance will allow a biologic. Currently Having a flare (all my fingers stiff and swollen DIP’s blew up overnight a few weeks ago ) along with all my usual chronic Enthesitis tender sore spots, so i am currently also on a 6 wk prednisone 15->5 mg slow taper. All labs pristine- but had a high platelet count once. Thx for sharing! I too just returned from a trip (to Italy!) so drank more alcohol than usual- but my lft’s ok so far! Thank goodness . Back to water !

Went to see a rheumatologist today and he is considering Humera
It was super helpful for me. Whatever medical route you take I hope you find resolve

It's all about balance alcohol wise!

It's called patients know best.
