Re: Anyone? Help with Metho and AP-You SHOULD take them together to stave off infection---

[Guest guest]

Hi mumpup and others!

Sally here in Little Rock-

I've been on methotrexate since '06 and Antibiotic therapy (AP) since '99. I

made the mistake of getting off, cutting way back on my AP early this year and

got a sinus infection that I could not get rid of-methotrexate (Mx) is a chemo

and like virtually all the standard RA Treatments it is an immunosuppressant.

I did great on Mx when I was on my AP-if I got an infection I'd just go get

stronger or disease specific antibiotics from my GP and get OFF the Mx until the

infection had cleared. Do NOT stay on Mx with an active infection-it could and

often does, develop into a super infection.

So, keep your beautiful son on AP and that will keep infections at bay and/or

easier to control.

I'm finally back on both Mx and AP and am in much less pain, thank Heavens.

Good luck, everybody!

Sally

maybe someone could weigh in with some more info on this. i can't

remember the details but i know it's been discussed that the two

don't work together. maybe it depends on the individual case.

Hi Sallie,

I'm glad AP and metho works for you. I read on the website not to

take AP and metho together as the metho can't get metabolised

properly and you can get an overly toxic buildup of metho. Obviously

it doesn't bother you though, with any adverse side effects ??

Best,

Leonie
