Spider veins all over body caused by Methotrexate?

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭
Cape Town, ZA

I have been on mtx for two weeks now and have notice spider veins on the inside of my arms, my legs, my breasts, my lower back - basically all over. Is this normal? Is it the mtx or just the RA? Anyone else got this going?

Let your doctor know immediately. I’ve never heard of spider veins as a side effect of mtx.
