Hi
As some will know I'm having foot surgery on Thursday
So no methotrexate from yesterday
I just didn't feel right can't explain it but definately felt odd
Well more odder than usual :roll:
Have any of you suffered any ill effects of stopping the drug?
I was on 20mgs

    I’ve stopped my meth for surgery on at least two occasions and for bad colds on more. I never notice anything for a week or two then the RA slowly begins to kick in.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    I'm on 30mg & the only problems I have wen I stop it are I get every type of psoriasis known to man & my OA & PsA go into huge flares. I've been back on it about 3 weeks after taking steroids for my chest & I'm still flaring :?

    Wot sort of odd do you feel?

    I hope ure surgery helps.x

    I've skipped the odd week here and there due to bacterial infections or particularly bad viruses and can't say I've noticed any difference. Hope you're feeling ok, if it persists perhaps talk to your rheumatology clinic or GP. Good luck with the surgery!
