Cannot stand the heat

[hannahlouise2208]

I am currently on methotrexate, folic acid and leflunomide for my PSA and have recently had my leflunomide upped as it wasnt doing anything.

I know the UK is incredibly muggy right now because of our awful weather but I was wondering if any of these meds make it to a point where the heat affects us more? I feel like I am melting constantly, day and night. I cant sleep well at the moment anyway because we cant find the right meds and ive just been told i have dysplasia and a pincer deformity, my hips are so bad as a result.

I am drinking so much to try and cool me down but it is doing nothing but make me need to wee a lot more. I cant call my rheumy until monday since its an answerphone service that is only mon-fri 9-5 but i am curious as to what you guys use to cool down?

ive tried cool/cold showers but they dont help temp wise and make me more stiff, my fan is just blowing hot air back at me, so im kind of out of options.

hi I take methotrexate and folic acid but stopped the methotrexate for now can`t handle the nausea and actual sickness. Do drink more water as well but can`t say much on the heat mind you(live in Scotland heat is scarce) but make sure come Monday make that call and hopefully get some advice.

methotrexate does have the side effects of heat just really exhausting me and making me just have bad skin sensitivity to heat and sunlight. I’d say that’s what it is.
