Guest guest Posted September 30, 2000 Report Share Posted September 30, 2000 Jana, do you take folic acid with your metho? I do, 1mg, maybe that's why it isn't working for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 9, 2000 Report Share Posted October 9, 2000 , Sorry this has taken me so long to respond. I kind of got a little behind on the e-mails when I went out of town. I still have over 600 to read.(This may take a couple of days) I do take folic acid and the metho seems to be working for me. I take 1mg. I take 10mg. of the metho., I am losing my hair, but as Heidi put it, think of all the money we will save on hair products, not to mention haircuts. I hope this helps. I hope you get to feeling better, maybe you will something besides the metho that works. Hugs and Prayers. Jana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 16, 2000 Report Share Posted October 16, 2000 To all on metho: Will you please let me know what dosage of metho you were started on. I know I am going to have to start on it soon. I hate to admit it even to myself, but I am sure my RP is affecting my breathing. Ugh! I just want to go see my doctor well armed with info as I want to start on a LOW dose!! Glenda: I am being treated up at Oregon Health Sciences Univ. here in Portland by Dr. Barkhuizen. He seems quite knowledgeable, and thank heavens, pleasant. I'm so sick of doctors that I'm getting picky and choosy. Cheers to all and my nightly prayers for all. Love, Dagny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 17, 2000 Report Share Posted October 17, 2000 Dagny, I know what you mean about dr. I too am getting that way. I am glad I finally found the rheumy I have now. Now if I could just get my primary care dr. on the stick I would have it made. Maybe my rheumy will light a fire under him. My primary care dr. needs to be reading up on RP if he has a patient with it you would think. Doesn't know didly sqaut except for what I can tell him when he will listen.LOL Lots of Love Glenda > Glenda: I am being treated up at Oregon Health Sciences > Univ. here in Portland by Dr. Barkhuizen.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2000 Report Share Posted October 17, 2000 Dagny, I started on 7 mg. of Metho and am now up to 12.5, I was on it once before but started at a higher dose and got very sick. Gradual increases work better for me. Hugs, Sandy ----- Original Message ----- > To all on metho: Will you please let me know what > dosage of metho you were started on.
