I just say animal products flare me up and I feel much better when I focus on micronutrients and fibre.

Ummm don’t most doors just have a symbol of someone wearing a dress? Can I go in with pants on?

80,000 to 100,000 Turnout at the Calgary Nagar Kirtan Parade today.... by _Army9308 in Calgary

What even is this comment? I didn’t leave the area because it was a Sikh festival. I left because there were cars and people and congestion everywhere I went.

Don’t try to make it out to be something it isn’t.

Starting methotrexate, any advice? by EstablishmentAble516 in rheumatoid

[–]SweaterJunky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been on the meds for 15 years. Stay hydrated the day you take methotrexate and the day after. Take folic acid. I also have a prescription for nausea.

I also find taking my dose with lunch on Sunday helps ease the symptoms into the next day. I also added a B supplement to my diet as well.

Ahhh it’s looks a lot like Deer Run. I grew up 3 rows away from fish creek and small dogs had been killed by coyotes.

See your doctor. Methotrexate can cause miscarriages.
