I had such a lovely time with my friends but on routE home I suddenly felt quite ill. Been to the docs and he said I have a nasty throat infection but is more concerned with the pins and needles. In my hands and feet something to do with methotrexate. He was going to send me to hospital but no thanks I said do a blood test see what's going on so he agreed and gave me antibiotics. I'm worried though the Mtx is all that keeps me mobile beyond depo steroid I'm dreading it causing other issues if I have to stop I'm on my own :shock:
Beside that the glands in my neck are so swollen I can't move my neck without extreme pain and my bowel has kicked off again I'm falling to bits :sad:
Everyone please cross your fingers and toes for me please that the Mtx isn't the problem.
A very worried ill and scared Theresa x.

    Oh dear! Not a good ending to your weekend, Theresa. I do hope it's all just a throat infection with extras but he's right to be concerned it might be meth-related. I do hope not.

    I'm so sorry Theresa that your lovely weekend ended so badly. I will keep my fingers crossed for you that the blood tests come back with good news rather than bad for you. Keep resting and get your strength back. Let us all know the results when you get them. bubbadog/Amanda

    Hi all thankyou for your replies

    I have spent most of the day sleeping and feel a little better today. No news from the gps although doesnt really mean much they can be a bit slow and it depends if the results have come back yet.

    The problem they are most concerned about is pins and needles and numbness which is increasing in my fingers and toes. Apparently that can be parathesis (SP) caused from folic acid depletion even though I take a suplement. He said he would have checked anyway because of my infection.
    Will let you know if I hear anything else Im not on much at the minute as Im sleeping as much as I can
