Hi Everyone,
I remember hearing how a few people on this forum had quite a good improvement of symptoms whilst on methotrexate for various concurrent diseases. I am aware that there are quite a few potential side effects of this drug, but do you think this is an option worth considering with my doctor? I am just sick to death of getting next to no relief, as are many. Is anyone out there still taking this drug and reaping the benefits?
I've read how methotrexate inhibits DNA and RNA synthesis via folate inhibition - do you think this could have implications for treating XMRV - for those who are positive of course. If you inhibit RNA synthesis you prevent XMRV infecting the cells??
Thanks for any feedback/ ideas,
Jake
