Guest guest Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 , you should call your rheumatologist and ask. Sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well. Not an MD I'll tell you where to go!

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 I'm curious about taking MTX when sick as well. I was not really able to get a clear answer from my rheumy and, frankly, if I stopped taking it every time I am sick, I'd probably be off of it more than half the time. Any thoughts on this? P. S. What I have learned from dire experience, however, is to stop taking it if I am very sick--it made getting better almost impossible!! __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 I haven't been sick often on it, but when I have, I've just reduced my MTX dose. My recovery time was normal.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Thanks , I don't like my chances of getting a response so I think I will just skip this weeks dose and try to get rid of this.
