Re:BREATHING & LUNG PROBLEMS USING MTX.

[Guest guest]

I had drug induced pnumonitis. It was horrible. I was coughing constantly.

I could barely breath without coughing. I was having to decide to eat or

breath, sleep or breath, talk or breath.

If you are experiencing breathing problems and are on MTX call or see your

doc ASAP!!!

my rheumy told me that lung damage is a side effect of mtx - though

rare. he should order a chest x-ray and may take you off it.
