Guest guest Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Sure it can, anything you eat,breath,take as a drug is processed through the liver. And Meth, oh my Lord if you knew what they used to make the meth available on the streets you would be scared to death. Drain cleaner ,battery acid,Muratic acid(I use that to clean my pool),paint thinner,Iodine etc. Yeah some pretty nasty stuff. And people are shooting this crap, snorting it up their noses,eating it. We had to deal with my oldest son who had a meth addiction, He lost every tooth in his head. That crap literally ate his teeth away. Meth is mega bad. I wish there was a way to get it through to people. Even the people who manufactor this stuff use it, and that is just plain crazy. The good thing is that if you take care of your liver and live right from now on, chances are you can undue the damage done. The liver a marvelous organ, can regenerate its self if we take care of it. But those that continue to damage it with drugs,alcohol don't give it a chance to heal. Ahh a touchy subject for me, because of the fight we had to get my son away from that crap. Thank God, he is clean and sober for 3 years now. Took him finding out his mom had Hep C, to finally get through to him. Love Janet okseven_7 <okseven_7@...> wrote: Can meth speed up the process of hep c?

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 when i first got the methetrexate I asked the pharmacist about it and he said " some people cant live without it and some people cant live with it " I think that about sums it up. But it does knock out the immune system so if you have a mycoplasma infection (or any infection) and it lowers your immune system, then you are open to more trouble.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 I remember taking metho when I was in my 2nd year of scleroderma....of course, the rheumys didn't help me at all until I BEGGED to have something to help me. Metho was awful....I was becoming so deformed that I would stand in the mirror and cry and thought I was a host to an alien being. After 6 months I said " NO MORE " . I did my research and found AP treatment and my GP prescribed it (after I was looked at like a freak show). I mean....the nurses and the doc were crying because of my deformity and my skin. Anyhoo.....I have to have humor....I fired my rheumys and found my research doc who said " I'm so glad that you are on minocin...it helps 1 out of 3 sd patients.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Hi Jeff....my research doc is a woman...I know that she is very well known around the USA for her research with scleroderma/lupus. I really don't know how to answer your question. I have been seeing her for 6+ years and if I remember (short term memory) she doesn't know why AP works for some and not others. And who really knows why I did get somewhat better.....I have alot of deformity, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
