Hello All
I am on my fourth week of methotrexate treatment. 10 mg on Wednesdays and 10 mg folic acid on Fridays.
First, to this date no side effects.
During the first two weeks the itching was as severe as ever, however I experience longer intervals with calmer skin.
The Tuesday, at the end of the second week was a nightmare. I had severe itching the whole night.
The third week: Wonderful - Since that Wednesday afternoon and for the following the itching is not so severe and at intervals none at all.
Since this Wednesday 8 August I must say that the itching is much less with longer calmer periods.
I am still using anti-histamine tablets in relation to the methotrexate treatment.
I was scared to go on the medication due to all the scary information gleamed from the internet. However, with the moral assistance of my dermatologist, the liver and kidney scans and the blood test, I am glad that I am using this treatment.
I know I must be patient and is positive to see good results after eight weeks.
