Ramakambhtla...I also have a heart condition. This was one of the reasons I stopped taking Methotrexate. For some reason it was adding to my pain. I was so severely in pain that I was concerned I was having a heart attack. I never did get it checked, but I do have a call into my Cartiologist. My granddaughter is a nurse and she was very upset that I was taking Methotrexate. It is poison to my system. This is my third day without it and my legs feel so much better. I started using Ibprophren yesterday. I am so afraid to let my doctor know as I bet she cancels me as her patient. Well maybe that best. I mean it, I was becoming a vegetable. I could not stay awake and I could hardly walk. Bags under my eyes turning blue. I thought my body was preparing to die. It was terrible. For those of you who take it and can handle it, great...but not me.

Oregongirl you made the right decision for you ,sounds like your body was trying to tell you ,this is wrong med.listen to your body about meds if it doesn't feel right stop it also listen to your granddaughter on e nurse to another. Glad you feel better.If your cardiologist let's you go she isn't thinking of your best interest ,you can find another.

Ramakambhtla, Hi, I used to take Methotrexate. After a few years of taking it, (methotrexate), I contracted a very, very rare cancer. I was also on hormone replacement therapy for low testosterone. I was told to give up both as both were suspects for having caused the rare cancer. I don't remember why you were taking Methotrexate, I was taking it for Psoriatic Arthritis which is also an immune disorder. I was diagnosed as having PS by two different Rumatologist and my GP. I later began to practice Spring Forest Qigong. After a few years of Qigong and many healing sessions with my teacher, a third Rumatologist said I no longer had Psoriatic Arthritis. Never underestimate the ability of your body to heal itself. I had radiation and huge doses of Chemo for cancer and not only did I live but my tumor was no longer malignant when it was removed. That is even rarer than the cancer itself. I wouldn't try to fight a serious disease with just Qigong but I wouldn't try to fight a disease without it. You can get Qigong practitioners to work on you from long distances away, you don't have to be present. Yea, I sound crazy and maybe I am but I've also seen two miracles in my own life that can be credited to Qigong.

I am being seen by the University of Texas medical center. She is not what I was used to. I sent a text again today asking for an appointment. Tomorrow I will call my Primary and her get on this. I believe that the Methotrexate was damaging my heart. I feel so much better

WSH I totally agree with you on my body telling me to quit. I threw up at least 10 or 11 times in last two weeks. I had Psoriatc Arthritis
for many years. I would complain to my doctor and he would tell me what to do next. Finally after many years, the RA doctor started me on a treatment and the sores are almost all gone. I could never wear short sleeves or backless dresses. Doctors should admit when they do not know something well enough to treat it. I suspected I was showing signs of cancer. My RA doctor has me going to a oncologist. He takes blood and tells me everything is ok and come back in 3 months. FOR WHAT? Is he waiting for something? Was this drug given to me to see if it will produce cancer. I hate to think that. I actually went shopping tonight with my daughter in law. God is good.

All the time .Your throwing up might just been getting that drug out of your system.Will hope so.Bet it felt good to get out and go shopping.
