A member asked:
Can 7.5mg methotrexate+low dose pred. cause frequent (mainly unilateral) muscle spasms/twitches &mild shakes? or more likely new autoimmune symptom?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Autoimmune: Typically when you have a reaction to medications, it should happen bilaterally. Unilateral symptoms would make me concerned for other etiologies.
