Clearwater, FL

Diagnosed with UTI 3 weeks ago...was on various antibiotics for 2 weeks. Off of Methotrexate at that time. After finishing antibiotics I developed P. Neuropathy. I have had this for 1 week. I did resume my MTX after finishing antibiotics. I wonder if I should not take my Methotrexate this week until it improves. Went to Dr and they they me Gabapentin for now.

Thoughts?? I worried and hope this improves...

Gabapentin worked great for a couple of years then it didn't. On lyrics now but neuropathy has gotten extreme so they are sending me to a neurologist.

Be sure and get your fluids in. Especially water. No the MTX as far as my drug apps reports no neuropathy. I would never stop RA treatment unless for surgery or some other reason given by your rheumatologist
