Guest guest Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 Hi Kelley, Regarding the chemo helping arthritis. I take methotrexate for rheumatoid arthritis now. I only take a small minute amount of it; about 1/100th the normal chemo dose. The rheumatologist has had some people on this med for over 30 years! My hand surgeon blesses when she went on it (12 years ago). It has allowed her to continue her chosen area of surgery - the hands. Intricate work, so she must be pain free. In the 70's it was experimental. Now it's the standard treatment for RA. It stops the advancement of RA. Just a bit of info for all of you. Angel (A.K.A. Mari) mfgershman@...
