So I spoke with Doctor today and I'm on yet another path of meds in hopes to put my RA once again in remission. Today was a very tough day on the left foot. I need to get the name of the joint. It's the one on the outside below the pinky toe joint. The pain has continued onto the top of foot which is weird. It hurt most of the day which has rarely happened before.
Anyway, my doctor is putting me on Methotrexate which I have been on the past 2 years until I stopped taking it in late March due to a bad liver test. However my new doctor wants me to go back on it. I'm going to start with 5mg one day a week. I was up to 8mg one day a week before stopping.
So here's the question. Does anyone know how much alcohol I can drink while on Methotrexate. I've had three RA doctors tell me 3 different things:
Doctor #1: No alcohol the day before, during, and day after taking Methotrexate.
Doctor #2: Limit yourself to seven drinks a week, doesn't matter when.
Doctor #3: You really shouldn't drink at all. Maybe 1 drink a year.
So let me hear from you.
Are you drinking while taking Methotrexate? What did your doctor tell you?
