The Rheum. have started me on Methotrexate http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/d...r/a682019.html ,which is scary as it is used to treat Lupus, Cancer, and other scary sounding things, but so far it does seem like it might, possibly be doing something. (I have been on it for 3 weeks now, only one week on the intended dose, though.)

Now though, I seem to have developed a side-effect from the Methotrexate. I have been itchy for the past few days. No bumps, rashes, swelling, redness, etc. I look normal except for the itch. If anyone has had itching as a med. side effect and knows how to lessen it please help! And if anyone has any ideas about anything I'm open to them!
