Thanks so much for letting me know. I'm 73 with sleep apnea, chronic pain and breast cancer (had lumpectomy) but very concerned about all the things I read about Methotrexate. Breathing issues are a big concern for me because of sleep apnea. I use C-PAP but still want to be cautious with any meds. I read te Folic acid. Thanks again, I appreciate your help. Glad you're doing so well.
Blessings

I’m so sorry you are navigating other issues as well. I am 56 and have no other health issues besides mild anemia. I do go to the rheumatologist to have my blood checked regularly ( one a month and now every three months). Methotrexate can affect the liver and kidneys. So far I am doing fine.
I will pray for you and a treatment plan you can tolerate physically and financially.
