...

my doctor called me on thursady night and i told him all about the BIG tummy

ache and the tired feeling and just over all not feeling so well... HE said that

the liver could very well cause my tummy ache and that just comfirms his

thinking that it was the methotrexate... we will see... i took it again friday,

only three pills, this time and then i have to go and have live emzyme test on

wednesday, it it is elevated at all then i can not take methotrexate anymore, he

said.....

then what will i do?????

i cannot tell if the liver is causing problems as i'm just finding out

about the RA and sjogrens and have been fighting thryoid problems too.

so i'm not sure where the liver symtpoms are physically, but i'm

extremely tired. i also had adrenal failure after my total

thyroidectomy. sooo. who knows with me.
