Re: Through with Radiation! No MTX

[Guest guest]

Dennis, So glad your treatment are finished. I want to comment

about no MTX.

I quit taking my MTX in early Nov because I had a sinus infection and

was on antobotic for the third time since Aug. I saw my Rhemuatologist

a few weeks later and he just indicated that I needed to start back on

MTX. So far I haven't because I wanted to be sure I was over my

sinus infection. But I haven't had any big problem not taking it,

which has surprised me. From what I remember from reading post here,

people had problem right away . Thanks to this group, I had the

courage to stop the MTX while on antibotic. My Drs had never

suggested this. I have been putting off week by week taking the MTX

again, but will be starting it again after Christmas, but will discuss

with my Dr on next appt.
