Re: Hello again and hair loss methotrexate

January 9, 2007

Hi !

I´m from Portugal.

I was very happy to know that you are on 3 mg of pred! That wonderful

(almost noting!!!)

Last May I was in 2.5 mg (only two times a week...) but not for long time!

3 weeks later I had return to 10 mg daily + MTX(grrrrrrrrrrr). My rheumy

told me that was happening because of the grippe. She told me the

Stilldisease can be reactivated with a grippe! So, be careful. Don't get

grippe anyway! Force!
