I had a friend in New York that when his wife died he called me and he said it was sure it was because of the methotrexate - he was an EMT.
When my liver count was up and the rheumatologist kept saying he wasn't worried and my primary care physician was worried I decided it was time to find a new rheumatologist. As I said in my previous post when the new rheumatologist saw my liver count he said he would have taken me off the methotrexate before it got that high.
Of course, he put me on something that was dangerous too (the Cellcept). It is just to the point where I don't trust a lot of medications and so I don't take them.
If I ever get a new prescription for anything at all I google it and research it before I take it. If I have the slightest doubt, then I don't take it. |
She has blood work every 4 weeks. But they have had to increase her dosage every month so I don't think it is working. Also, her doctor told her not to drink alcohol. I know she still does once in awhile and I can't get through to her the risk she is taking. It is a scary disease.
