Enbrel plus methotrexate – family planning

I am a male on Enbrel with Methotrexate, is it safe to start to have children?

methotrexate during pregnancy

If you get pregnant while taking methotreate, will I abort it?

Remicade and Toxicity

I have Ankylosing Spondalitis and have had 8 Remicaid infusions so far, at 8 week intervals. The first 6 treatments left me feeling fantastic within a day of the treatment. The last two infusions however, have left me feeling exhausted and nauseated for 5 days before returning to normal. Could this be a sign of toxicity associated with Remicaid? What are the symptoms of toxicity?

Availability of injectable Methotrexate?

Why did injectable MTX suddenly become unavailable a few months ago? Will it be available again? I have lived the RA adventure for 41 years now (diagnosed at age 17), & have lived thru NUMEROUS medications. Was one of the first RA “test” patients on MTX. Had very positive results on injections for approx. 18 years (intestinal system can’t tolerate oral MTX). Body has reacted to lack of MTX w/ extremely severe crisis flare. Will injectable MTX be available again?

Methotrexate for Rheumatoid Arthritis

I want to know that what should be the minimum level of haemoglobin to start the methotrexate?

Blood Pheresis as an alternative RA treatmemnt

After recent consults with the Mayo Clinic, Yale University and Harvard/Brigham Womens Hospital — it has been suggested that I engage in blood pheresis (Prosorba Column) as an alternative to previously failed treatments for my severe and erosive RA. Do you have more current research findings for this experimental therapy and can you provide me with the major pro’s and con’s associated with the process from your own perspective? Iam a 52 year old female who has had the disease for 20 years. I am also a DES-Daughter who had clear cell carcinoma at age 18. My surgeon hailed from Johns Hopkins. The now deceased, Dr. Clyde Randall. Thank you for your help.
