Anyone having luck while taking methotrexate?

How are you doing on your methotrexate? I have taken the tablets for four weeks so far. You are so lucky that you do not have any side effects from that medication. For me on the day I take it the day after give or take I do have a little dizzy spells which I know are very very common but scary. I also have a blood test coming up and a doctors appointment which is an eight week appointment from the time I started taking the medication. I am basically taking one day at a time and hoping for the best! I would love to hear how you are doing and I wish you the very very best!!!

Thank you @lindaadele . I took my 4th dose yesterday. I really have not noticed any other side effects other than those I already had with Prednisone. I get what I call the wobblies also. But that has been going on since the start of prednisone, I sweat a lot and sleep badly, just to name a few. Strangely though I have been loosing weight (7 lbs since last November and I am not a heavy person to start with) instead of putting it on as many people on prednisone seem to do. Just had a CT Angiogram today as they are concerned about GCA and/or Vasculitis! This is an interesting journey that keeps us on our toes! Up and down and around ... maybe that is why we get dizzy at times ... LOL ... Keep me posted on how you are doing. Hopefully all of this will just be a memory in the very near future!!! Wish you all the best!!!
