Question: What type of symptoms would you expect to see a young female with lupus and iron deficiency 19 years of age and approximately 125 pounds and has been incorrectly taking a daily dosage of 2.5 methotrexate along with regular prescriptions of sertraline, prednisone, plaquenil, two antibiotics and trazodone for 6 months? Would she survive? How would it potentially affect her? What would occur over twelve?

A pharmacist misinformed me, the person above described, of how to administer methotrexate at 2.5 mg. I took it per his wrong advice of taking it daily for two days and then took the rest with his correction on the third day, taking 6 (15mg ) in total. I am experiencing symptoms of loopiness and lapses in memory, my joint pain persists and my skin is clearly showing signs of flushed redness - my skin was nearly orange the second morning of the dosage, notably I am 3 quarters XXXXXXX XXXXXXX (lightskinned) , so the orange tinge looked as if I just came back from Cuba or something. I am also drowsy but full of energy (agitated) and I have not been able to eat a full meal in two months. My lupus is active and was active before the administration of this medication. Ive had renal and brain involvement in the past that was treated and damage was prevented. I am looking to find out the potential consequences of his misinformation and the things that might ensue with me having already incorrectly taken this.

I am looking to pursue legal action against this pharmacist. Before I find a medical expert, can you tell me if you believe me taking this medication unknowingly on a daily basis would have caused me serious injury or death in the long term?

Okay sir thank you so much I appreciate your expertise more than ever! Please while I have this one question left answer this. I have lupus as you know and have been taking prednisone and plaquenil for two years now, prednisone i went off of for 8 months orso. but now my bones and joints constantly make popping and cracking noises. my neck is stiff and my lower and upper back are sore and feel like a major disk is moved or something sometimes. i am scared of osteoporosis. i am inactive because of the pain and i am depressed. i lay in bed alot because of this and i am active in no way. please advise me on what to do if whos help to seek if you would be so kind! as you work specifically in the muskuloskeletal system
