decifer the maps. well on to Dr. T. I am currently taking pred. as

many of us are. the Dr. suggestioned i start taking metho--starting

tomorrow. I don't know anything about metho or what it's side affects

are but i would like some input if anyone here is taking it. the Dr,

is very knowledgable in his field and i would have to say tops in

this area i live in ( new England ) even though it's a task to get

therei feel very comfortable with him. we discussed alot of aspects

of my life, my job, my activitys and such and my history medically.

he really is a nice Dr.This will be a short post for now because to

say i am exausted is an understatement, my calfs feel like they are

filled with lead again and are killing me so i intend to put them up

for while.Hope everyone is doing well and if you have any info you

Hi Chuck,

Glad you had a good appointment with Dr "T". Did he give you Folic Acid? I took that when I was on Metho.

It did make me tired and I had some thinning of my hair.

I had some abdominal cramps and nausea for a couple of days after I took it. But we all react differently.

I eventually went to injectable Metho to avoid the stomach problems.

That is an option if you have a problem with your stomach.

How many MG. are you starting with?
