Guest guest Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Thank you, I got it all straightened out with my rheumy and pharmacist I had received a large, unpreserved vial and told to use it until it was gone, I had been using it for four weeks when I read something online about discarding after each use. I will get small vials, one per week now. It is to our benefit to learn as much as possible Cassy > it depends if it has preservatives or not. i have to throw mine away. > > kathy in il > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 nope the prednisone was just a boost to help me get rid of the inflammation in my chest left after pneumonia. but like i told my rheumi today. i'm not sure if it's just coincidence, but i got sick the first night i raised my dosage. the thing with my tongue is the wierdest kathy in il Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 That's a lot of prednisone, I hope you also take Fosamax so your bones do not become too brittle. kringlemom@... wrote: ok i haven't really posted in awhile. has anyone else who does mtx injections ever feel it pumping through them? i felt it last night. my tongue feels so strange. my rheumi said she thinks i am having a reaction to the mtx and to take benedryl. i was also on 40 mgs prednisone last week tapered down to 15. diflucan x 2 days from the steroids bp 170/100 on thursday, part of me just says do a xanax (which she said i could) and go to sleep kathy in il Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Kathy, what do you mean " chemical spill? " Meds are there for those who need it. If you don't take them, your joints will deteriorate fast and then you'll be bedridden for sure. Please, do take them as prescribed and have some quality to your life. We all have bad days, don't let them get you down. Take care. kringlemom@... wrote: i'm trying and i'mtrying to do it without meds. would just hate to add to the chemical spill kathy in il Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 I " m so sorry that you're having such a time with nausea -- it must be horrible to have it 24/7! I hope they can get it resolved. I had that gall bladder test done, too, due to my inability to digest food, and it turned out that my gall bladder was only functioning at 3% of normal. They yanked it out and my digestion has been much better since then. Take care, > Hi , > I'm on mtx injections now, giving them myself, and still no reduction in the nausa. My rheumy sent me to my gasto doc ( he does my colonoscopies ) so I had an ultrasound done and that weird gall bladder test where they inject dye into your arm and you lay underneath a machine for an hour...they were thinking maybe something else was causing the nausea...found nothing. I'm going back to the gastro doc on Thursday because I am absolutely so sick to my stomach 24/7. I just wondered if anyone else had that issue, I had so hoped that the mtx injections would take that away. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 I had the same problem...constant nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. It was not worth the lost of quality of life to spend my life on the bathroom floor. So MTX was stopped after 9-12 months of trying different stuff to lessen the side effects. I think there are just some of use that can not tolerate it.
