Re: Re: Alternative therapies & continued pain over ea

[Guest guest]

Clora, your experience at this time has shown me of my experience of this

morning. I went to a " wound specialist " at the hospital to check the sores

that were not healing, and during our checkup, had looked at some itchy

spots below my ears, one that was there for a few years and the other just

recently. Since her husband has skin cancer, she suggested I get them looked

at by a dermatologist! Another one to be concerned about..

I have taken antibiotics on a few occasions prescribed by doctors that were

informed of my MTX and there was no mention of stopping it, and I had no

knowledge of it at all. So, what else do I need to know?
