Whatever the reason for taking it is, I hope you are okay, OP. My meds are a bit different, but I only function with my daily pregabalin

Methotrexate is horrible. It wipes you out so much.

Admittedly I don't take it daily or anything like those for R, Arthritis do. But I had an injection of it once and I couldn't get out of bed and was wiped out for a few days.

She's been on them since last June, had NO side effects as such and then a month ago was advised to stop the meds to allow her blood cells to come back up, started again 3 weeks ago and it's now causing nausea

Ah. Yes, seeing a loved one ill etc is horrible. Mr KC has been an absolute rock with the disability that I acquired 4 years ago. I couldn't have done it without him

Really feel for the OP as I am a full time carer for a family member and seeing someone you love in pain or suffering is probably one of the hardest things in the world, I have wished for that magic wand myself many times.

Its a mix of emotions

Anger mainly but it's a different type of anger and I can't help feeling it, there's literally nothing I can do except listen to the professionals and carry on doing the things I'm doing, it's not fair, but then what ever is

I'm sure you'll keep doing your best to support whoever it is and remember there are organisations out there to support carers, Carers UK being a big one. You can access support and counselling etc, because the burden of being a carer is immense, as is the burden of illness.

OP, a guy I know has a son born with a very rare condition that affects his skin, as well as lots of other things, but with the great treatment he gets etc, this lad is living a normal life. Try not to worry about the future and what might be, and focus on the here and now and what your family member needs from you

Anyone that does things like that because of someone's illness/disability doesn't deserve the oxygen they are wasting, also remember for every one that says such hateful things there will be many that will not and will say the most lovely things instead.

Heart wrenching to read this op...find somewhere you can scream and cry at the top of your voice and maybe someone you feel safe doing this with...sending caring vibes

That's what this is, a rare auto immune disease that attacks the skin bone and tissue

However rare a condition, there will be support groups. The lad I referred to above, there's a single digit number of people with the condition but they have found support.
