A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

Has anyone had to take spironolactone with remicade I'm waiting for my insurance to approve a higher dosage of remicade because even though there some improvement I'm still flaring I heard methotrexate can cause some serious side effects just wanted to hear everyone thoughts

What Is Everyone’s Feeling On Methotrexate?
A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

Today my doctor prescribed methotrexate. I am also on remicade at the highest dose every 4 weeks with no improvement. I am also on metformin 1000 mg a day. I haven’t saw much of a change. My doctors prescribed methotrexate to add to my medicines. I am worried about side effects as well as fertility in the future. I am not planning to have kids now but in the future I would love too. I am 22 and would like to keep all options open. If anyone has any facts/opinions please let me know
