Re: Posie & MTX --- followup

[Guest guest]

My doctor upped the folic acid to 2 tablets every other day and has me

staying at 3 tablets of Methotrexate for right now. Had to sleep at

lot yesterday afternoon after the Monday night dose, but I'm much

better today.

Will talk to her about splitting the dose when she increases it. I

always drink lots of water anyway so that isn't a problem.

On another note. I'm STILL waiting to find out if we qualify for help

with the cost of the Remicade. HealthWell Foundation says my doctor's

office still hasn't sent one form that needs her signature so I am

taking the form (another copy) to their office tomorrow morning along

with a postpaid envelope.

I have to wonder why a doctor would have someone taking a nutritional every other day.......seems odd, the body requires ongoing nutrition, every day.
