No, I have never taken Methotrexate. I...Hi Denise,<br /><br />No, I have never taken Methotrexate. I think because of my kidney function and the anemia I have it not recommended for me. I know it is used for severe cases of RA and for certain types of cancer. I also know that it interacts with many different herbs, over the counter drugs, etc. so be sure you ask the pharmacist what you CAN take even for a common headache. I take cellcept and to be honest after getting use to it for the first couple of months I love it. Have you asked if you can take a low dosage of cellcept? It isn't FDA approved for autoimmune diseases so your Doc may not prescribe it.<br /> Have they tested your liver and kidney function prior to giving you the RX? If not, I think I would ask for the tests and go from there. Check out Sjogrens World....I am sure there are a few that have or are taking it.<br /><br />I am sorry I am not much help with that drug, but if you have any other questions just let me know.Vickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03637013340045655467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5524669059874959054.post-71565883448445572452009-05-13T16:54:00.000-08:002009-05-13T16:54:00.000-08:00Do you take any meds that cause weight gain?

Take care of yourself and dont over do it!<br /><br /><br />And if you get a chance when you get back I would love to talk to you and ask a few questions.
