Just wanted to wish you and your brother well for your respective scans, and hope they yield favourable results.
I'm not sure exactly what meds you're on, but I'd be a bit cautious taking them with milk. The reason being is that there's the possibility of the calcium in the milk binding with your meds and so reducing the amount available for absorption and hence getting less than the desired dose.
You've probly been advised on taking the meds with or just after food to minimise an upset stomach, and I was also wondering if you have been given a med to protect your stomach from thes drug induced irritations?
It might also be prudent to have a chat with your doctor if the upset stomach is debilitating, if you've been given folic acid, the dose may need adjusting or another med can be addd to help settle things down.
Also, you mentioning about feeling shattered, DMARDs can effect the blood cells and maybe the tiredness could be reflected in this. If you've got any appoinments for blood tests lined up, then it should be picked up, but again it would be worth mentioning this to your doctor if you can.
