Re: The Winter, the cold and Methotrexate

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I asked my Dr the same thing, about if the cold weather is what was

making me hurt worse lately. She decided that the MTX was just not

working as well for me anymore and that I should add Enbrel to all

the other fun stuff I am already taking.

Yep, even on MTX I still have days where I hurt alot...and those are cold wet

days. I can still tell you when the weather is going to change just by the way

I feel but it is still sooooooo much better with the MTX than it was. You

rheumy may up your dose some...I know mine did over several months from 3

tablets a week to 8....now I am giving myself injections....of 20 mg a week.

Good luck!
