Hi eveyone .
I just really want to see if anyone feels the same as me.
I take Methotrexate (tablet form) and have for about 7 months with no side affects & my crohns was really good, I recently had a flare (i think triggered by a stomach bug) and am starting to feel better after a 4 week pred course.
My doctor is now upping my metho dose too with the view to go back on remicade in Oct , then medication Free by April when myself & husband would like to start considering trying for a baby.
The problem is , i am terrified of taking my methotrexate! I have been talking to some people i know , who for various reasons there Doc has wanted to put them on Metho and they have refused to take it. When i have asked them why & said thats what i am on , they have freaked out & told me to come off it ASAP ! It's now worrying me to the extent , that stupidly i am purposly missing my medication & am now starting to flare again.
I know im being silly & i really don't want to be ill again , but im scared
Does anyone else feel this way , Do you just take it ?
I have previously been on Asacol,Aza,6Mp,Remicade.
I have monthly blood checks currently on my Methotrexate.
Any advice or support would really be appriciated.
Many thanks
