Answers:
Well I have a daughter with JRA and I have Lupus!. However she has not taken Metho!. but I have!. There are some side effects!. I did get a headache the day after and I did lose some hair - not a lot, but it did thin out and I was not able to eat or smell fish, which prior to that was my favorite food ! Other then that it did help a lot!. I am with your mom!. It should be avoided if at all possible!. There are a lot of treatments available!. remember Metho!. is a "mild" for of Chemo!.

My girlfriend used it for a while and it made her fell very sick!. A bit of advice take it with milk as this soothes the reaction in the stomach!.

I't didnt work for her unfortunately!. She is now on enbrel which works a treat!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
