Does anyone else get palpitations?

I’m only on 3 mg, down from 50 They also added methotrexate. Could methotrexate cause palpitations?

Methotrexate

I had a really good appointment with a rheumatologist in Sevenoaks last week and will now be trying Methotrexate to see how I get on with it, needless to say I had lots of questions to ask before I committed myself to go on it, but I forgot to ask if taking Prednisone and Methotrexate together would

Unable to tolerate methotrexate

I’m unable to tolerate methotrexate due to deranged LFT’s. I was on methotrexate and imraldi. I’m now on baricitinib as a mono therapy. Had anyone else had any experience of being on just one medication and how has it been? Thanks 😊

Effects of methotrexate on lower doses of pred.

On the subject of methotrexate I think that now I’ve got down to 5mg pred the effect of the methotrexate is that it causes me headaches for 24 hours. Does anyone know if when you get to lower doses of pred the methotrexate dose should also be lower?

Methotrexate

I have discovered that my request for repeat prescription of methotrexate has been rejected by my GP. Wondering if this has happened to others? I was not given an online reason. Trying to get hold of surgery is a marathon task… Thank you

Hair loss

I am new to the group and am taking g Methotrexate and Hydroxychloroquine and am concerned about hair loss. I wonder if anyone has had any success with supplements, oils, etc. My Methotrexate has been reduced and I take folic acid 6 days each week.

Cough and methotrexate

I increased my methotrexate last week to 25 mg injections from tablets. Don't think this has anything to do with the cough but does anyone know what I can take to help or suppress it? Codeine suppresses a cough but read not to take it with methotrexate. I'm shattered.
