Ok can someone tell me right fucking now what are the possible side effects of methotrexate?
I take 20 mg per week and I've noticed reduced ability to fight infection, nausea and sometimes I get testicular pain. Is it related.

I feel this is some real chemo bullshit and I'm scared as fuck.

This drug is specifically used to inhibit your immune system. It's useful when your body is attacking itself like in some forms of cancer and other ilnesses.
If it's making you weaker and more prone to infection than maybe that's not the right drug for you. Or you need to worse in the short term to better in the long term.

What is the illness you are treating?

I'm treating uveitis man, pretty shitty disease. But within a few months I got a dick full of Molluscum and I'm also afraid for cancers and shit. I'm easily scared desu. I also get nausea symptoms the day I do the injection.

Have the physician tried less aggressive medication first? Methotrexate is an actual drug commonly used to treat, but it has the side effects you mentioned. You should talk to your physician, it's impossible to know if it should be stopped and substituted for something else or not. And you should not stop it by yourself. Talk to a reliable relative, your parent or trustworthy friend to help you out if you can't get if you too psychologically impaired to get in touch with your doctor by yourself.

Also, you are probably having anxiety attacks with all this problems. I recommend mentioning clonazepam (Klonopin) or some similar tranquilizer to keep your nervous system calm, otherwise your brain is going to give you all sorts of inflammation because "it feels threatened".

Yea corticosteroids gave me dangerous eye pressure so I switched into this cancer shit.
Idk man, before this thing my immune system could fight 10 infections, never even used antibiotics before, imagine that. Now with this shit, I got sick during winter and the virus helped bacteria grow in my sinuses so I used antibiotics for the first time to prevent something more serious. It sucks.

Another thing. Clonazepam/Klonopin is a little addictive. Specially if you use for long periods. It's ok for short term, though. If you stay on that for too long, try "tapering off". Which is a strategy addicts use to drop drugs.

Consider changing physician as well. Some doctors are out just for the money. They want you sick enough to keep leeching you off, but not too much that you die and stop giving bucks.
Be careful not to come off to aggressive or get into a heated discussion. Just be polite.
