Dawn you are going from 7.5 to 20mg all at once??? Oh my... I have never

heard of that, but that doesn't mean I'm right... Has anyone ever done this?

I guess they do start people right off at 20mg, I don't know... Guess

because I had such a hard time I just did it slowly every week and built up.

You never told us if you found out if your foot was broke.???? Please let

us know.

hi thomas

my name is dawn, i am on metho, and yes with some people there are side effects, my advice is to call and ask your dr. if it would be alright to wait till after your business trip to start the metho.

the dr. will more than likely tell you yes unless there is some medical reason you must start it now.

How much are you starting on. I started on 7.5 mg and did not have to hard of a time. I am now starting my new dose of 20 mg so i am a little nervous about that one. but we will see.

At the present the only symptom is a mild flarein my eye, which is being treated with pred. oral anddrops. I'm traveling on Sunday for work, and will begone a week. I'm concerned about starting methotrexateand leaving on what might be a stressful trip. I'mdoing fine otherwise. I'm thinking I should wait untilI return on 8/20 to start the new meds. in case of badside effects. Input? Thanks, in Dallas--- Rpolychondritis wrote:>
