Anyone ever have an bad reaction to a bee sting while on methotrexate? I've always been a little sensitive to bee stings, typically only some mild swelling, easily treated with a benadryl. However on Saturday I got stung on the foot & immediately knew it wasn't going to be good. So I went inside, took a benadryl elevated my foot & put an ice pack on it. about
15 minutes later I started to break out in hives. I could literally see them forming all over my body. So off to urgent care I went and the "lovely" doc there gave me another benadryl -- but that's a whole other story.
Basically, doesn MTX cause us to be more susceptable to something that we aren't normally? MTX is the only change in any of my meds since the last time I was stung.
