Yes I had an episode of this again yesterday. I am not sure what is causing it but it seems to happen at least 2-3 times a month and a day or two after my weekly methotrexate. I am going to start tracking what I do and eat the day before. This episode happened after being in the sun for over an hour so maybe it is associated with being a little dehydrated. Also, I was running a lot of errands and getting in and out of the car a lot the day before. Maybe someone else can provide us both with some information on it. Hope we find some ways to avoid this soon. Have a great day!

It could be a side effect of the meds or it could be something going on. I have RA, IBS, and a host of other issues and the rheumatologist said it could be a symptom of fibromyalgia or it could be the RA attacking your stomach. I just went through this and was told I most likely have fibromyalgia on top of all of my other issues.

That's why I'm experiencing too so I just stopped taking it on my own until the end of the month when I see the PA at my rheumatology office to see what comes next but am not feeling good about the alternatives either!

When I was on methotrexate I was sick like I had the flu for 6 out of 7 days. That med put havoc on my body. Maybe your doctor can prescribe you something else.

I'm almost wondering, since I'm getting older, maybe I'm not handling medication like I used to.
