October last year I developed a sore throat followed a week later by a cough and ended up coughing up blood and getting pneumonia
The doctor told me to stop taking my Methotrexate and with treatment and time I recovered
Looking at possibly development with regards to the Flue coming from China should I stopped taking it again prior to catching the virus
I’m on 7.5 mags a week

Graham

Hi I’m on 20 mg s aweek unless your a high risk of coming in contact with someone who has it or been to country affected I would stay on methotrexate as I’m sure it leaves your body a lot quicker than it takes to get into your system0

If you have concerns speak to Rheumatolgy or your gp0
