Subject: Liver and Kidney irritation
Hi all. I just wanted to ask, I`m on Cimzea and Methotrexate (Cimzea for 6 months and MTX for 4 yrs). For the last month I`ve had discomfort in the area of my liver and the same on both sides of my back where my kidneys are. Its not pain, but discomfort and my bloods show no signs of any problems. Its strange how both organs started to irritate me about the same time. Has anybody else had anything like this happen to them while on Cimzea or Methotrexate. Hope everybodys doing ok. Richard.

Hi Rich, I did have pain over my liver when I was on Methotrexate and also high results in some of my bloods but, after extensive examination, nothing at all was found to be abnormal. Can I ask, are you on steroids? I've been told I had a 'fatty liver' from steroids and that may have caused some pain. Sounds a bit dodgy and not sure I believe it but no pain now.

Hi bsk, hope ya well. Just to answer question, no, I`m not on steroids now but I have spent a couple of years on them in the past so maybe theres something in what they say. In the meantime i`m gonna try to eat healthy and drink lots of water to see if that helps. Cheers bsk.
