Guest guest Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Hi Judy, Glad to hear you are feeling much better. Thank you for telling me what you are on for the mouth sores. I will ask my rummy next week if I can have a prescription. I also have dry mouth and at night I awake with it. It's a weird feeling. Does anyone else have that and if so, what do you do for it? I'm on MTX and folic acid myself and for the fibro, I'm on Lyrica, both of which make me very sleepy. Does anyone know what to do about that? I don't want to sleep my life away! Judy I have the same things wrong with me that you do except I have bulging discs in my lower back that I get physical therapy for once a week and that really helps me. Thank you for anyone that will answer my questions. Thank you all for all the help you have been. Tender Hugs, Bonnie To the world you may be one person, to one person you may be the world! I found my birth daughter, her name is ! www.bonniesplace1.com mouth sores Posted by: " judy_hyman " judy_hyman@... judy_hyman Mon Dec 31, 2007 1:44 pm (PST) I get Thrush (candida) from the MTX and am using a medication called Nystatin 100000. It works great! I think the MTX overkills the good bacteria in the mouth which causes the thrush and this replaces it. I also use Dannon Activa which has helped tremendously. I've been on the MTX for about 3 months now. Lab tests are normal so far. I go to Rumy doc today. Other than thrush, I have been getting " spells " where I begin to perspire profusely; my face gets flushed, and then feel anxious and nauseous. I haven't had this before and think it is also from the Methotrexate. I have RA and Fibro, along with asthma, migraine headaches and spine problems (degenerative disk disease with ruptured disks in both cervical and lumbar spine)....and spondylolysthesis (vertebrae are out of alignment in addition to the ruptured disks. Basically my body is a mess! I used the Duragesic patch (Fentynol) every 48 hours for pain and have percocet for any " break through " pain. I have to say that for 2 days, after Christmas, I felt GREAT! It was the very first time to feel good in a very long time...about 15 years! I'll keep you informed as to what the rhumy says! Hugs, judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
