Rheummy has decided to start me on mtx tablets aspc (oh joy!).
Should I get the flu/swine flu jabs before I start the tablets or is it best to wait until my body has adjusted to the mtx? I've 3 kids and there always seems to be some friend or other with suspected swine flu!
I meant to ask him last night but forgot!

Hi Lois,
Good news - Yeh !
I suggest you phone your GP's surgery or Rheumy Nurse and see what they say.

Hiya Legs,
A few weeks ago I'd have said 'no way' to mtx but now I just want to lead a normal life so......bring on the mtx!
I shall call the surgery on Monday - didn't even think of that!
Thanks,

It doesn't really matter: both are 'dead' vaccines so you can't catch anything from them.
Ring the surgery just to be sure though.0 -
