I have a young friend who has been diagnosed with polymyositis. She has been on Prednisone, but the side-effects are rough on her; her physician mentioned switching her to Methotrexate, and again she is concerned about what possible side-effects she could experience with this drug.

I know there have been threads on Methotrexate, but just to get a fresh perspective on what sort of side-effects this young lady may expect to encounter when and if she is switched to Methotrexate, I'd like to again ask for your collective experiences with this drug. I know that she will appreciate it.


Thanks,
