Hi,
I am new here
and I am glad there is a forum on autoimmune disease.
My 15 yo daughter has mixed connective tissue disorder and is taking methotrexate 20 mg once a week. We are still fairly new with this diagnosis so I need all the information or suggestions I can get as I worry sometimes that we are ignoring something important. Recently, she's been having tummy problems. She complains her tummy gurgles, is nauseous, vomited once, gets cramps and she also has wet, runny faeces (every now and then but hasn't completely resolved). Not sure if it is the Methotrexate doing this or some other disease related to her disorder. She's been to her GP both times these happened (in a space of 4 weeks) and her doctor put it down to just a tummy bug/diarrhoea. Second time though Dr ordered stool samples - no results yet. Am I worrying too much or can anyone suggest what it might/could be given you are likely more experienced/knowledgeable than me about this disorder?
