Re: reactions to meds - Folic Acid

March 23, 2009

My doctor has me take 1-MG per day of Folic Acid. I take the MTX on Saturdays

only. The Folic Acid is supposed to help with side effects. In the beginning

of taking MTX my hair started to get thin but then instead it got curly! My

uncle is on MTX and he's lost his hair twice.

Hugs,

Judy

> Hi all, What's wrong with me ? I hate MTX and just want to die when i take it,

since i feel so lousy. I suppose i just have to go to bed and stay there when I

take it ?? I thought it was meant to give you a life back, not take it away ?

Other people seem to tolerate meds well and love taking all the meds they can

lay their hands on, but not me... I hate the stuff. Maybe it's my constitution

or something, but there doesn't seem to be any allowance for people who cant

tolerate the drugs very well - even if it's psychologicaly, it's still real. I

feel like a whinger and a hypochondriac. I can't go on like this... what can I

do ?Does it ever get any better ?
