Hi, I would ring your GP and ask for a telephone consultation if you have to wait weeks for an appointment or even go to a and e, it really isnt wasting their time if you feel like something could be wrong.

Hi
I literally had surgery 2 days ago and i feel like my hair is falling out more than it would do usually and like you i wonder if its the stress and shock of surgery or i was on methatrexate pre surgery so my immune system was shot to pieces and wonder if it had anything to do with this?

I had methatrexate a week + 1day and have been given very little info on anything. I know the drug can damage your liver which is why they tell you not to drink. My liver tests have been fine do far but just wondered do people know when you are able to safely drink alcohol again?
