Guest guest Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 I have had several hot flashes especially in the late afternoon and evening and I have been on Metho for over 5 months---I am past menopause by several years since I had ovarian cancer in my 30s and had a told hysto. (I am 60.) Both my doctor and the rheumy could not explain the hot flashes-- they just kinda of laughed about it-- but I don't think it is funny. I really did not have any hot flashes or at least nothing like this anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 , I am sorry to hear that your doctors responded that way. Your docs never should have never laughed about any complaint that you had. That's just obsurd to me. It's so hard to believe there are docs that would laugh in a patients presense, like in your case. My rheumy took my complaint very seriously, unfortuantely, after her testing was done nothing ever panned out for me. I know in a few years they will be blaming it on that time of change but now is not that time. who knows. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Hi , Well I'm 100% male, and pretty sure I'm not suffering menopause so perhaps my experience is of interest. The day I take my 15Mg dose of Methotrexate and the following day I feel flush all day, as if I'm running a serious fever. I feel like I'm coming down with something, and don't feel as sharp or energetic as I normally do. By the end of hte second day, I'm back to normal. I am a 250lb male and only taking 15Mg once a week. I can imagine what a larger dose would do to a smaller person. Hope you are doing well controlling your PA.
