I’d rather be bald as a pickle than take either drug.
Was on methotrexate and later prednisone for my rheumatoid arthritis.
Methotrexate gave me terrible mouth ulcers and prednisone made my bones weak and gained ungodly amount of weight.(actually got stretch marks)plus the “moon face”.
Being bald would be a pleasure compared to the pain.
Yep, it’s a rugged drug. I was on so etching similar, mercaptopurine or 6mp for short. Had constant boils, lung problems bad enough to end up in er, mouth sores, and some other things too- was not a pleasant drug to be on. The prednisone wasn’t too bad for me- had to be on it for long periods a few times, but others do suffer from just that drug too.
Methotrexate and 6mp are both chemo drugs if I recall right.
