Is there anyone that suffer(ed) of professional discrimination because RA?

[Theresa]

Why do we still have to pay for our prescriptions? At the counter or pre-paid certificates, we have to.?

Does anyone know a good dentist that know how to deal with people that is on methotrexate?

Hi Theresa, the link above you might find interesting it was a blogg by Summer. you may find some of the relies helpful and interesting reading.

Back to the dentist, all good dentists/orthodontists should be aware of the side effects of any drugs you take including MTX, I know mine is and he checks my medication list with me each time I go.

all dentists should be able to deal with patients on methotrxate.. similar drugs and or steroids.. they just need to be told what you are taking
