I'm not Dr. Zinfadel, but my RA doctor said that Mtx really taxes your

liver, especially in the first few days after you take it. I take mine on

Monday.

He said an occasional glass of wine toward the end of the week probably

wouldn't cause problems. Of course, if you're already experiencing liver

problems,

I wouldn't chance it.

Red wine is supposed to be good for you. It's even recommended for

diabetics. I keep thinking that I'll start drinking it, but I haven't

yet.

I don't think one glass *every now and then* toward the end of your cycle of

taking MTX would hurt, but I wouldn't make a habit of it. Not a doctor, just a

paramedic, but have seen plenty of people with liver damage from doing things

they ought not to.

Hey

Ive been reading lots about methotrexate and any non uk sites seem to suggest no

alcohol intake yet the leaflets i was given to read over and other sites ive

seen say you can have 1-2 units per day. I asked my nurse and she said you have

to stick to the 1-2 units or you could get sick (as in vomiting) so since ive

been on it ive continued to have a glass of wine, if i go over my units i get a

terrible headache and a hangover that makes me feel like ive drank gallons and

not just a few units!! I am a bit scared of overdoing it especially now my

methotrexate is up to 20mg per week, but RA takes a lot away from life so until

im told different ill enjoy my wine

also i was told that when on mtx you should drink loads of water to flush it

through your body quicker so if i do have a glass of wine i make sure to drink

water before bed and plenty the next day, just in case!

I'm on Enbrel for RA and Lyrica for fibro. I, too, miss the

occasional glass of wine with dinner or a pint of Guinness on St.

Paddy's. Just one of many tradeoffs in our lives. It's great that you

have a young, proactive rheumy. My mom had severe RA also. I went

through Plaquenil, sulfasalazine, and MTX, remicade, and now on

Enbrel only due to side effects of all the aforementioned. Hoping

much success with your treatments.

Yes, it can! I hope that Enbrel works as well for you as it does for me!

the water comment doesn't surprise me.  It probably explains why I'm drinking

water all the time!!  When I first started on it, I couldn't get enough water. 

I felt like pouring the water  directly into the toilet...if u know what I mean!
