Methotrexate in a relationship
I was wondering if anyone had any experience with methotrexate impacting their partner? I have a longterm, long distance boyfriend and since 4 months after I started methotrexate he has been getting extremely itchy and sore eyes around me. We have ruled out makeup, shampoos, conditioners, laundry detergents/fabric softeners, it isn’t impacted by pets and he only experiences it around me. We cannot find the cause! Methotrexate obviously isn’t something I can cut out in order to test if this is the cause so I was wondering if this is something anyone else has had experience with. Could the methotrexate have impacted my sweat/skin/hormones in a way that causes him to have a reaction to me?

Hello @CC778 and welcome to the Online Community. Well this is something we've not been asked before but I would ask your GP/Consultant to see if they are aware of it. Allergic reactions can be very strange (I speak from experience) and it can be difficult to find the trigger. I've put the information we have on methotrexate below but I wish you luck in finding the cause. Hopefully your GP/Consultant can shed some light on this,
and
Please keep posting and let us know how you are getting on.
Best wishes
Peter
