Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Hi Jakki! I am not on methotexate but your not testing positive for anything has piqued my interest! What testing has your doctor done? I,too, tested negative for the standard RA, ANA, and Sed Rate testing however my doctor ordered further testing (IgG rheumatoid factor and anti-ccp) and I have a positive IgG Rheumatoid Factor yet a negative anti-ccp. I started Plaquenil last week. (I cannot take methotrexate until liver testing complete. I have a history of elevated liver enzymes so they need to rule out certain conditions before I can start methotrexate) Where are you located? w] ~]ss Kami ss] ~]w [ ] Methotrexate Hello all! I am currently taking 25mgs of Methotrexate on a weekly basis. I've been on it for about 6 months now and I would love to talk to someone who has tried or is trying this type of treatment as well. I'm new to the group and have never really talked to anyone on this this type of treatment before. Any and all feedback would be great. My story...short and sweet. At age 18 I was diagnosed with Vasculitis, I did steroid treatments for a year and was fine up until I had my son in 04, then I got sick all over again, however I am not testing postive for anything but there is something going on. Between the 6 doctors I've seen they said/think it's either RA or Lupus so we are trying the RA treatment now, if it doesn't work we go to the Lupus treatment next. .
