My Watch List

I saw my aunt today and she looks a lot better. She received the blood and it seems to agree with her. She seems to be in good spirits and was joking around with us.

The doctor told her all of this was caused by methotrexate. She was prescribed that from her rheumatologist and was just takenw off of it on Monday. It is causing her bone marrow to break down and is creating havoc on her immune system.

The intended use of methotrexate sis cancer treatment, but it can be used for rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. It is not intended for long term use, but she has been on it for years. She had no idea what it was supposed to be used for. The doctor said take it and she did.

I will spend some more time on the mistreatment of the elderly later. Now I am going to try and post some MS, multiple sclerosis, related stuff.
