Is anyone else having a mucous problem?

Hi, I have RA and am on mtx. Over the last few months I have observed that although I don't have a cold I am bringing up a lot of phlegm. Can't tell you how embarrasing it is! Any one else had a similar problem?

I had the same problem and my consultant took me of MTX for that reason....One of the biggest side effects is lung damage , so usually you will have a chest x-ray before starting MTX so they can detect changes...Let your Consultant know ASAP...
