Subject: Metho and Booze.....

Well.. I have been on methotrexate for a number of years. I like my wine.. and had always been able to enjoy a few glasses on occasion and not be ill.
On Saturday I went out to celebrate a close friends birthday. I have had to up my metho to 15 mg and my first new dose was this week.

I thought WRONGLY that I could have few drinky poos.

I was so ill! Up all night in a swanky hotel talking to the toilet bowl!

Dear God in heaven how cruel this malarky is.

So, no booze for me! Sad face.

much rather it was chocolate which was the culprit and not wine... could easily give that up.

How does everyone cope then? What is your vice?

bad times!
i've been fine so far on meth and wine but i have to increase my dose to 20mg next week and am a little bit anxious that it might not go down well.
I too love the vino, good god i hope it doesnt make me ill (or any more bald....i nearly need the wine to cope with the amount of hair thats getting washed down the plughole)

i really miss a glass of red wine and have been substituting rubbish food for that vice on a friday night but it just makes me feel fatter and stodgier. However, i am now on my maximum dose of metx at 17.5mg so if there are no drastic side effects at the next blood test, i am going to indulge ohhhhh i feel so bold. i hate that i am such a goody two shoes!

Hi Mads, Nicola, Lynn and Kazzie,

Trina has kindly agreed that I can post on here to ask whether anyone is willing/able to take part in some market research. We will pay £250 cash to participants to cover all expenses.

The research will take the form of a face to face interview next week and relates to a new injection device (you wouldn't be required to inject yourself during the interview).

We are looking for people self-injecting with a minimum of 3 months experience. Anyone wishing to take part must be using one of the following:
Enbrel
Humira
Methotrexate

We are particularly interested in anyone aged over 60 or those with severe RA in their hands (but certainly wouldn't exclude any others if they meet the main criteria).

If you are interested and able to travel to central London on the 6th, 7th or 8th of June please do get in touch. Please note that in certain instances we may be able to conduct the interview in your home or place of work if this is more convenient.

For more information on our company (just so you know we are legit!), please visit www.creativemedicalresearch.com.

Thanks,
George
