Hi janet,
I'm not sure if you've found the right forum or not as from my understanding lgl is leukemia and this forum is for those with rheumatoid/inflammatory arthritis. Whilst Mtx is used in both, the doses that are used in rheumatoid arthritis are incredibly small compared to those with leukemia.
I wonder if the CLL community on here might be able to help? healthunlocked.com/cllsupport
or lls.org/ is the charity that supports people with leukemia and lymphoma and it looks like they have an online community too.
Hope that helps,

Hiya Janet. Have you by any chance been searching for the med methotrexate? If so this is the NRAS site, National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society. Whilst we are prescribed MTX it's low dose & not the high doses used for treating leukaemia. There are other Healthunlocked support sites where the members may be able to help. I'm afraid I don't know which specifically so I've copied some you could try below in the hope you'll recognise one
