Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Jennie, I have heard that MTX can actually cause cancer, long term. My doctor told me this. Also enbrel, and the drugs like it, lower the immune system, that is why when on it you have to watch for any infection as our system can't fight them. I am hoping to continue with the antibiotic therapy as it seems to be ok for me. My only deformity is on my thumb. If I ever see things worsening, I will have to try something else. Also, enbrel has been known to cause lymphoma in some folks. I know all drugs have side effects but I am trying my best to keep them an a minimum. Best of health, ette P.S. I don't know much about the above drugs, but they do scare me. Someone just posted about hair loss on MTX, too, and the nausea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
