Whew! I guess that was a bad idea, really really bad. I'm going follow the

Group's advice and talk to my Rhuematologist about it. Stay on treatment,

although I've never had a seizure before, mmmmmm, taser gun! Ah, probably

another bad idea.

Stan,

Do not take extra pills in the middle of your week. That could be

very dangerous. The MTX is only to be taken once a week. If you

feel it isn't working all week then talk to your rhuematologist.

trying to stabilize my condition and my doses has increased about

every two months I feel like we are getting very close to it. I don't

suffer the bad side effects that many of you do, but I do have the

MTX hangover, as I call it, the next day after medication. All the

benefits of drinking all night without the alcohol! And I can feel

the medication wearing off about four days later with shoulder aches

and minor flares up (which indicates we're not there yet). I am

considering what I think to be a reasonable experiment by taking two

additional pills (I have a few extras) during the middle of the

medication cycle thinking it might act as a booster. I figure this

will result in two options: I might feel better and will yell at

me.
