Re: Re: Question about MTX

[Guest guest]

Okay - I'm coming clean.

I have been on Methotrexate for probably over a year now and I still have wine and the occasional other kind of drink pretty regularly. I do monthly bloodwork and so far I have not had any liver problems - all of my levels are fine. Just recently I have decided to go on the diet that Zeke mentioned and because I am getting frustrated with not getting better despite everything I'm on. So I'm going cold turkey on sugar, alcohol and processed foods (can't give up coffee quite yet). Maybe that will make a difference.

I also still have wine after being on MTX now for 6 years (or there

abouts). My weekly bloods are still not showing any signs of liver

damage.

here's hoping.

Cheers,

I've never heard of that test, either. As far as I know, my doctor only tests blood levels every couple of months (and then, not even that often). Maybe I am less careful because I don't have any side effects that I can feel from any of my drugs. I suppose that gives me a very false sense of security and I would probably be smart not to push my luck. Thanks for the advice.
