Please notify your doctor as soon as possible tomorrow. Also, be aware of the side effects of Methotrexate. It is important to know the side effects of all our medications so that we know what to look for. It is a form of advocating for yourself. Especially since it's so easy for our doctors to blame everything on lupus before considering that it is from a medication. Not even our doctors can remember every side effect of the medications they prescribe. Please keep us updated.💜

I took myself off Methotrexate after both the pharmacist and my Internist confirmed it was likely an allergic reaction. My rheumatologist wouldn't respond to my calls or messages. I have since found a rheumatologist who seems more committed to her patients at Prisma in Columbia SC. The big medical school (MUSC) Fellow clearly just didn't care. It definitely helped me make up my mind about cutting Dr. King as a treatment provider.

Hi Patricia
I have those spots on my legs, my Dermatologist said it's cutaneous lupus. They itch and flare up at times, especially in the summer. I was given triamcinocolone. Unfortunately I was told not to remove them because they will come back and they are not 100% sure this happens to Lupus patients. I had beautiful legs, but they scared

Since I had a very bad allergic reaction to Methotrexate, I have been getting occasional itchy bumps. I'm hoping this isn't the new normal. This is where my allergic rash started on my neck. It spread all over my body. Two weeks ago, it finally calmed down, but I keep getting lone itchy bumps.
