Hi I was diagnosed with psa two weeks ago, and is on methotrexate. I've upped my dosage as instructed, but since my body temperature has decreased, and I'm feeling cold, has anyone experienced this and do I need to see someone about it?

Thankyou

    Hey Rachel, you don't say what the temp is but mine runs lower than it did. Usually between 36.4 to 36.8. I've never connected the two either. Wouldn't hurt to mention it .... And if you do let us know! Please 😂😂😂

    Hi Rachel 

    I am also on MTX i am on 12.5mg increasing to 15mg. I do complain of being cold but  I am clammy to the touch, I guess this is one of the side effects of this drug.
