Newbie with a few questions.......

[Guest guest]

Hello, I just joined this group and am curious about a few things.

I've been on metho (along with folic acid, prednisone, & for pain, I

take oxy and vicadin) for three months and have just started

experiencing the side effects. Extreme tiredness and upset stomach.

Does anyone else have these side effects, and if you do, how do you

cope? I take metho once a week and the side effects of taking it on

Monday (3 days ago) are still with me. I feel very weak, even right

now and am so tired. I've also been experiencing heart burn, or acid

reflux and I don't know what I can take, if anything. Does anyone

have any suggestions? Does it sound like it's not 'agreeing with me'

to the point of getting off of metho? I read a few posts and saw

that some of you are on several different pills that I didn't

recognize. Are these pills that are taken in place of metho? I was

reading my book and it said that metho is a cancer drug. In what

sense?? Is it like a very low dose of chemo?? One more question...

I read some posts about antibiotics. What are they being taken for?

Please forgive my 20 questions, this is all so new to me & there is

so much to learn.

Also, I read some posts about Minocycline. My daughter was just

perscribed this for her face. What are the benefits of taking this

for RA?

Thanks for listening & hope you all are doing well.

God Bless,

Sandy
