Hello everyone, I have a couple of questions.
Is is it ok to take a course of Vitamen C such as Halib Orange to encourage healing whilst on Methotrexate even though the drug's purpose is to suppress the immune system?
Also is there a minimum/maximum time to be on this drug? I have been taking it constantly for over 4 years and feel like I need a break now. It has certainly helped my RA.
Hi Maggie,
I take 1000mgs of slow release vitamin C every night along with 1000mgs of cod liver oil.
Been doing this for a number of years and i am on 20mgs of MTX which i have been on since May 2002.
I am also on a beta blocker, statin and blood presure tablets to.

Thanks John. Thought the Vitamin C might help heal my mouth lesions.
Hi Maggie,
I am also on MTX and I take Marshmellow Root or Licorice Root to help my kidney and liver as MTX comprimises them. I also take Folic Acid on a daily basis with the exception of the day I take the MTX
Try washing your 3 times day with warm slt water that is an old remedy. It's also good to gargle with for a sore throat. My gran used to make me do it and i never did get my tonssils removed.
Thanks for the tips Leeha.
I will try that.
Hi
Been on meth for psoriasis. Was not happy with side effects. Told consultant not taking it anymore off it now.
Morning David, Interesting. Does that mean you are not taking any medication at all now?
