Mikhaila Peterson was prescribed methotrexate and Enbrel for autoimmune diseases.

“I had been taking immune suppressants since grade II since I was eight so I was the first kid in Canada to be put on this medication called Enbrel which is uh well and it means suppressant it's TNF alpha antibody yep yeah yeah inhibitor so that reduced my like active inflammation in the joints but didn't actually stop my joints from disintegrating so yeah I was also on methotrexate inhibits folate so methotrexate is dihydrofolate reductase inhibitor so it's gonna inhibit the body's ability to use for late to make any sort of new DNA so it sort of stopped cellular replication yeah not ideal”
