I am on methotrexate pills for my lupus. I have just been bumped up to 20mg. I notice fatigue a few days after. I take them on Monday nights so I don't have much issue with nausea. It has helped a...
Oh man. Things like that happen to me all the time. For example, we were low on milk so I picked up three gallons while I was out. I completely spaced that my husband said he was going to the store...
I also make larger batches to freeze on the days that I am feeling well enough to cook. I have found that crockpots too are very useful. With a family of five we can't order out as often even if I am...
I am on 15 mg of oral methotrexate (for my lupus). I was perscribed 1 mg of folic acid to take every day to help with the side effects. I see that you switched to the injectable mtx but it still is...

Thanks for your replies everyone! I had no idea that there was a joint in your larynx. I bet that is exactly what is going on. I have a follow up appointment in a couple of weeks and I will be sure...
Mr. X, I have Crohn's also. Long story short recently I thought that I might have Rheumatiod Arthritis and so I pushed for an appointment with a Rhuematologist. She was six weeks out but I finally...
I had a question for you all. I have recently been diagnosed with Lupus. I am on 15 mg of methotrexate to treat the lupus. I have been doing a lot better. The severe joint pain and swelling are gone...
I recently read a statistic in a book about that said women who are married when they are diagnosed with Lupus almost half of them will end up divorced within 5 years. This was an alarming statistic...
Thank you for your response! I will be checking out those books that you mentioned. I think that, for me, the more informed I am the better I feel like I can face an obstacle....
Hello, My name is Heather and I have just recently been diagnosed with Lupus. I have had Crohn's disease for 10 years and this February began having severe joint pain and swelling. I went to see a...

I don't know how common it is but I have disease that is in multiple areas of my intestines....
So I am sure that this is a common question. I have done some searching through the forum posts but I thought that I would just ask. Back story: about 2 weeks before my remicade treatment I began...
