I am on Hydroxy and Methotrexate what vitamin supplements can I take along side these drugs. Been to GP today and she thinks the swelling below my knees is to do with my ortho tic foot insoles. I would like to take some vitamins too what do you take and any hints ? Gentle hugs to you all x

Thank you Sylvi was just wary what to take. x

Hi, I'm on just mtx but also take fish oils, evening primrose and a multivitamin each day. I always check with my pharmacist before taking anything new.

I don't take any because they're expensive but I do eat a very good, well balanced diet and I feel that should be enough. TTx

I'm with Tilda on preferring to spend my money on nice food instead! But generally avoid anything that says it boosts the immune system as that's what you're trying to avoid, so no echinacea or things like that.

When I first starting wearing insoles I did have a bit of discomfort, and they had to be adjusted as the heel lift was too high. But since then have been fine so hope you get yours sorted. Pollyx
