So hi everyone feel on my own with this disease so was so happy to this . Does anybody take vitamins with their methotrexate as I feel I need them but when I go I to a health store as soon as I mention what I am on they say talk to your consultant when I talk to my consultant he says speak to a pharmacist in my menopause as well .... just shoot me now xx

Hi @c1_  

Welcome to the versus arthritis forum. 

I can see your dilemma which must be frustrating for you. 

I’ve had a quick look at our website and the following link may be useful:

I’m sure there will be forum members who can provided more input than I am able.

Hi @c1_

If you go to the small magnifier symbol on the tool bar top right, click on menopause and /or PsA and / or supplements you can find members discussions and advice sharing on loads of subjects which I hope you will find helpful. There are also information sheets on the VA website . Do get back to us when you have had a chance to explore, ask more questions and join in with conversations.

Best wishes

Hi Claire

What a lovely pic !

When I was on methotrexate the drs gave me folic acid to take , but I'm not sure if it depends on your bloods or not ,

I'm not on that now so I can't remember.

Hope you have something sorted out by now as I see this is from Dec.

Take care Poppy x
