I take the same weekly amt of methotrexate since May ( & am on prednisone since end of March now lowered to 5mgs). (I have prescription for folic acid as well to counter the methotrexate & take Alendronate to counter the bone wasting prednisone!!) I don’t have nausea but the morning poops are almost like diarrhea. It almost makes me hesitant to go to stretch class in the morning!!! But after the mornings things are ok. I didn’t know which drug was messing w/my intestines! At first I thought it was my decaf coffee so I went ahead & gave that up. Now I’m trying decaf green tea. But I don’t see a change! Gads. I have a Rheumy appt end of month w/labs to see how things are. I haven’t met w/him in 3 months.
I have to wonder what these drugs are doing to our insides? When (if) we get off this stuff do our inners repair themselves to some degree at least? Liver? Intestines? Skin? What else is affected?
