Many MyLupusTeam members have shared positive experiences with methotrexate for lupus! Here are a few things they've said:
- "Flares are remarkably reduced."
- "It has helped me a lot. The swelling around the joint areas has gone down."
- "Life is good! Methotrexate is doing wonders for the joint pain and other lupus symptoms." As for the throat and dry mouth feelings — those are worth paying attention to. Methotrexate can cause acid reflux, which may create a sensation of something being stuck in the throat, along with hoarseness and soreness. Lupus itself can also contribute to dry mouth by reducing saliva production, which can make things uncomfortable.
Dry mouth can also increase acid levels in the mouth, which may affect your teeth over time, so it's worth mentioning to your doctor. It's really important to flag these symptoms with your doctor, especially the throat tightness. They can help figure out whether it's a side effect of the medication or related to lupus itself, and adjust your treatment if needed. Don't tough it out alone on this one! 💙
