Guest guest Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Kerry Sue, Your fears are not irrational at all, they are normal and to be expected. Taking a drug that makes you more susceptible to infection when you're already susceptible to infection is scary! Hopefully you wont have any trouble with it and it will give you relief. Finding the right med can be difficult, but if you do it can change your life. Hang in there. a On Oct 18, 2005, at 6:05 PM, kerri paquette wrote: > > I hope everyone is having a good day.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 I have been reading with interest of the connection of mtx and exhaustion. I started 3 months ago adding mtx to the enbrel and all of a sudden I realized that this is exactly what is happening to me. Ever since the addition of the Mtx, I could easily, and have on many occasions, gone to bed before 8pm and slept 10-12 hours. On Dec. 2 I will be doing my first teaching session in 6 months but they are all first year med students, so most of the time will be spent letting them do some practice on me and hopefully I won't fall asleep.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 It could be that you have candida and need to clear it. Others will have to explain more why this might be, but LDN seems to bring it out if candida is already a problem or a lurking one. -- >Hello, > >I just started on LDN Feb 22 for a slight neuro disorder with my hands.

My doctor also up'd my thyroid med to 75 mg (I take a nat'l >thyroid from a compounding pharmacy). I also follow a gluten-free diet >(although I just noticed a hair product I use contains " wheat >gluten " ). I'm very frustrated. > >Thx. >Cyndy ~~~ There is no way to peace; peace is the way ~~~~ --A.J. Muste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
