My GP's thinking my methotrexate's fine, but worrying my plaquenil might be causing a problem my opthalmologist's found and my steroids and NSAIDs might be causing stomach problems. I have to go get them all changed, but I'm not in pain. (Sure, I have some problems with the eye tests, and I'm nauseas all the time, but I'm not in pain!!!!!)Irishttp://www.sometimesitislupus.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5532388825298713035.post-62429292330980678082012-01-28T12:50:16.273-05:002012-01-28T12:50:16.273-05:00I do know how you feel, I went to one Rheumatologi...I do know how you feel, I went to one Rheumatologist who swore that Methotrexate would help me, I have FIBRO and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. I have to say that I took pills (later on I found out the way he let me take them was very dangerous) but I felt GREAT on methotrexate, the best I ever had felt. I felt like the old me. I changed dr.'s and the new dr. was appalled that I was on methotrexate, you really can't win. All of us. Maybe they can just lower the amount you are injecting so there will be a good balance, I hope so. I always think of the movie Cocoon. The people feeling youthful and free for a short time and then they go back to their aches and pains and dreary lives. I hope that won't happen to you, crossing my fingers.

I for one really hate this dance we do with the devil....I really do.abcsofrahttp://abcsofra.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
