Moyan, one thing I learned about wounds is that if it's due to Wegs (ie, a vasculitic lesion) tapering the pred will cause it to worsen. But if it's due to infection, tapering pred will help it heal. Pred really inhibits tissue healing. I'm hoping that it heals quickly as you taper the pred.
Jan-- that's fantastic news about your lungs. Hoping you just get better and better.
That's great news Jan. lungs clear. Glad you handling the methotrexate.
A.J took the methotrexate last night. No side effects at all.
I am glad, mtx is so much better than cyclo. I hope he does well.

Hi I've been on mtx graded up to 20mg weekly since i was diagnosed in july 2009, i find the side effects most annoying, nausea, sweats, increased meticulation, and irregular hallucinations.
Does anyone know if mtx symptoms persist or does one become inured to them?
Andrew welcome, I have a sibling on mtx...she never mentioned hallucinations....that is something you need to call your physician on immediately. There are other's on this forum who can let you know how they feel on mtx. Are you on Prednisone? Do have you limited WG....tell us your story when you can... Hey i am going to beat Sangye to the punch...do you have a Wegeners Specialist?
D'oh!! Elephant totally beat me to the punch. She must be feeling better-- ya gotta be pretty fast to nag faster than me!
Welcome, Andrew McC. I've never seen hallucinations mentioned as a typical side effect either and agree it merits a call to your doc right away. I look forward to hearing your story.
Well Sangye , I let you sleep in today....you worked really hard yesterday.
hallucinations are not a side effect of mtx. could be other meds that you are taking. a trip to the doc is a must. make sure you tell them about ALL the prescription meds and over the counter meds you are taking and or any other substances
