Hi Lilaclily,

Sorry, I can't answer your question, surprised no-one else has been able to though!
How ya getting on with the MTX?

No probs as far as I'm aware... been taking Omega 3 capsules on and off for the last few months, am on MTX too. I'm still here! :-)

The only thing I was told to avoid was alcohol.... anyone aware of other things?

There are many medications that can not be taken with mtx. I know that some antibiotics, ibruprofen and asiprin are a few. The best person to ask is Tom_B. He knows his mtx stuff.

All I was told that with [glb]mtx[/glb], which I have been taking for the past year and a half - with only mixed success (initially it worked well, but now has plateau'ed out) - all you havge to avoid is alcohol. However, I was also told, by a different dermatologist, that it's OK to have the odd drinkie.
The top dermatologist also said that I had to lose the blubber, because the fat was having a detrimental effect on the workings of [glb]mtx[/glb].

OOOOhh.. yeah, forgot about the ASPRIN. Never take. As for drinks, yeah, do kinda partake once in a while - shouldn't really tho. Been on MTX for 15 years now... (was initially only supposed to be 3 or 4!) defo keeps the A stable,  not sure it does much for the P tho.
