Methotrexate vs plaquinel (sp?) Help

[Guest guest]

Hi Judy,

My name is and I have been on MTX for 2 years now. I too was very scared

to take this drug but I have to say that it was the best thing I ever did. I

felt results almost immediately. Taking deep breaths didn't hurt anymore and

I could exercise without being in pain. I take 5 pills once a week and

occasionally I feel nauseous but the pharmacist said I could take mylanta

etc. to feel better. It works!! As long as you get bloodwork every month or 2

you should be okay. If they begin to see any liver damage, they'll take you

off MTX and the liver begins to regenerate and heal itself. I was never

offered plaquinel so I can't help you with that. Hope the info helps. let me

know.
