| 3 | psoriatic arthritis | fungal nail infection and extreme tiredness. smelly wee (but that could be the anti-inflammatories!) | Been on Methotrexate for 10years and have coped better than I did on Sulphasalazine and Gold injections. Really noticed its absence when trying to conceive my daughter. Recent liver function tests have indicated a need to reduce my dosage which may cause problems. | M | 37 | 10 years | 9/16/2004 | 5 | psoriatic arthritis | I have taken 7.5 mgs (three 2.5 mg pills, one each Monday AM, PM & Tuesday AM) with meals each week for 18 years. A few times, I did increase it for one week to 4 pills. Slight reduction of sex drive. Slightly more tired. | This has been the magic bullet for me. I had lost over twenty joints in my toes, fingers, etc. that were totally locked and methotrexate restored all of them but one. I have blood tests periodically to monitor liver functions, but they are OK. | M | 59 | 16 years | 8/24/2004 | 5 | Rhumatoid Arthritis | some hair loss | The real test starts now that the doctors are weaning me off the predinzone starting to experience easy brusing with my fingers especially when I pick up something heavy | F | 49 | 3 months | 8/14/2004 | 5 | Sarcoidosis | teath sensativity, sore gums, nausia | It has given me my life back!!!

Now, it's so minimal, I call myself pain free. | F | 53 | 3 months | 7/20/2004 | 4 | RA | extreme malaise, sore throat, slight thinning & whitening of hair, nausea, whole body discomfort, more frequent viral infections including shingles. | Since beginning methotrexate injections along with Enbrel injections, there has been significant improvement. Reduction in swelling, ability to walk with cane instead of walker or not at all, extreme reduction in pain & frequency of major flairs. I am convinced that without methotrexate I would fall back to severe handicap. | F | 46 | 6 months | 7/11/2004 | 4 | psoriatic arthritis | stomach pains, loss of hair, exhaustion | F | 23 | 5 years | 7/10/2004 | 1 | RA and Osteoarthritis | Dizziness,headaces,back pain (kidney areas),vision change,rash on neck,trouble in sleeping,tiredness, sleepy,prostate troubles,and no relief from pain. | I have had bladder cancer and was treated in '99 & '00 with BCG treatments.

Occasional scratchy throat and eyes though very rarely. | After about 2 months of taking this drug I felt better then I had in years. I am taking it along with various other drugs but the difference since starting this drug has been amazing. I can sleep well and have only the slightest amount of stiffness in my feet some mornings. I feel like a normal person again and could not imagine what my life would be like without it. | F | 31 | 5 months | 5/26/2004 | 4 | chron's disease | None | This medication gave me some control over this terrible disease.
