Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 This group has been great so far. All of you are wonderful, in my opinion. But now I'm sincerely worried about Methotrexate, which I am assuming is what " MTX " stands for. It sounds like anyone who's used it is having hair loss problems. Is this what's going to happen to me, or is anyone out there NOT having this dreadful side effect? I'm living in terror that my RA is going to get worse and I'm going to wind up in a wheelchair, alone, having to rely on others to help me. I cry so much it's pathetic. Right now, it's mainly my legs giving me trouble - especially the knees. When I'm laying down, as soon as I try to bend them, they feel as though someone is trying to rip my knee caps off... I guess my main questions are: 1.) is hair loss inevitable? 2.) has anyone's RA ever gone dormant after a certain medication? 3.) has anyone ever had suicidal thoughts over going from being physically independent to being badly handicapped? (I'm not there, but I'm curious.) Any kind of response would be greatly appreciated... Thank you. " Sparrow " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
