Guest guest Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 Lynn, how much folic acid are you taking? Sorry you are having trouble. I would ask your physician about it. I'll tell you where to go! Mayo Clinic in Rochester http://www.mayoclinic.org/rochester s Hopkins Medicine http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org Re: [ ] MTX /sore throat > > Hi, > You have me wondering now. I have had to up my mtx and have to increase it again My mouth has been bothering me. Some months ago I had to have all my top teeth out and thought that was the problem. With your note I am wondering if it is the mtx. I will have to watch this and see how the symptoms go. I will see if it is getting worse when I take the mtx. I also use the needle. I just did it on Thursday and now my mouth is really bothering me. I have not had the problems you are having. I bet it could be the mtx though. I also take folic acid. I guess if it keeps up I will ask the doctor to up the folic acid. > Glad I read your note it has me thinking.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 Latisha, please contact your rheumatologist about this immediately. MTX pneumonitis is a serious adverse reaction that needs to be ruled out. I'll tell you where to go! Mayo Clinic in Rochester http://www.mayoclinic.org/rochester s Hopkins Medicine http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org Re: [ ] MTX /sore throat > > > > > Hi all, I have been slowly uping my dose of MTX because of the bad side affects. I get injections. I have noticed each time I get my shot I get a sore throat and also feel like Im getting a chest cold and it clears up in about 1-2 days. This last week I had .5cc dose and have had a sore throat REALLY bad and even lost most of my voice and the chest sold feeling is still here and its been since Wed. its sat eve. now also my gland on my neck is swollen. Last night I couldnt sleep from coughing and sat upright so I could stop from coughing. Has anyone else had this side effect? Thanks Latisha PS Im am taking my folic acid.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 , I am taking 1 mg. I am going to watch it for a short time. I have had a lot of problems with my new teeth, I just want to make sure this is not the problem. Lynn wrote: > Lynn, how much folic acid are you taking?
