I appologize. I'm really low tech and am struggling to figure out how to use this group.
I was given Cellebrex n then Nsaids mow Methotrexate. The Methotrexate started to cause cognitive disfunction that didn't exist before.
I cant find a rheumatologist in the Bellevue, WA area who will even see me now. They don't believe it exists. I don't know where to turn. I am not experiencing any specific pain. I'd love to hit the gym but my treating rheumatologist said absolutely not.
My most serious symptom is extreme fatigue, cognitive issues, the tendons in both hands are "slipping" and depression. Does anyone have an idea of a major hospital or clinic to call?

Mayo Clinic comes to mind; perhaps one of the moderators can give you info on that since it is quite a ways from you. Methotrexate does have side effects when one is on the meds. They go away once off the med. If your reaction is severe enough, ask your doctor if the dosage could be decreased. Aerobic exercise might be out, particularly with the fatigue, but you might still be able to do resistance/stretching. If your rheumatologist could give you a ref for PT to strengthen your muscles, that helps some with the depression and fatigue. Here are some potential side effects (for me it was mostly fatigue, balance, and slight nausea): https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/drugs/20143-methotrexate
