@colleenyoung GCA low dose metholtrexate

@colleenyoung I was diagnosed with Dermatomyositis in March 2002.

@colleenyoung
I have been taking Methotrexate for a few years now. I have both of the mentioned skin issues , and occasional bouts of mouth sores..
I was prescribed it for my Rheumatoid Arthritis.

@colleenyoung i am just starting on methotrexate and am confused as to how to coordinate the weekly dose with flu and covid shots. Do i just get the shots on different days than when i take the pills? I dont want to skip a dose especially im just getting started on this med. Dr. Said yes get the shots but reading on line in various places say methotrexate can weaken the vaccine.
