Hi! Everyone,

I had my appt. Monday with my neurologist and she of course wanted another MRI with contrast which I get done at another place rather than hospital I had it. She thought the resolution of the pictures was awful!! She seemed more concerned about my lupus than what may or may NOT be there :-)   So my rhuemy said continue on with the MTX so I was wondering since I was off for a week of the 6 pills do you all think I should take the 6 at once or 3 tonight and 3 tomorrow night confused   My rhuemy's office was closed today so I couldn't ask. How do most of you on MTX do the dosing??

Now I hope I get along with MRI contrast since I'm allergic to CT contrast.

Thanks so much for being supportive!!!

Hugs!

Cathy, I wish you had more answers about your brain and the MRI. Waiting has to be really hard. Hopefully they'll get a clear picture and be able to see everything. I can't help with the mtx since I've never been on it. Hopefully someone will be in your rheumy's off ice today to be able to tell you what kind of dose you should be taking. Take care and I'm glad you gave us an update. I've been wondering if you had found anything out.

Hi! Everyone

I got my results today!! Doctor didn't want me waiting and worrying over weekend. MRI is fine yeah

nothing to worry about its just from my lupus I will just get yearly MRI's. Now if this pathetic flare would go away I'd be fine.

Thanks so much for all your caring and support!

Hugs!

Great news...what a compassionate doctor! Rest up over the weekend and maybe the flare will get the idea and take a hike, too.
