know they suppress the

immune system, but has anyone noticed that it takes things like cuts

and bruises a WHOLE LOT longer to heal than before you started taking

them? Is this one of the effects of the immune suppression? I worry

that bruises lingering around for a while (more than a month) isn't

normal, but my Fibro memory always makes me forget to ask my doctors!

Mike,

Actually, I don't take methotrexate, I take Plaquenil, 400mg a day. It

just seems like since I started taking it, bruises take forever to go

away. And when you're a klutz like I am, you end up looking like an

abuse victim! LOL
