Guest guest Posted August 31, 2003 Report Share Posted August 31, 2003 Jay, I have been on metho. via injection for 3 years. My RA/MD has RA also and feels this is the best method for 2 reasons. #1. He knows the exact dose is getting into the system, there is no effect on stomach. #2. It is an inexpensive way to get a great result.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 EAch person is very individual but when I went from pills to injections I was JUST as sick if not worst...it just came on faster. I finally took myself off MTX cause my rheumy was an idiot and not listening to me. Make sure you are taking enough folic acid and Leukovorin if your doc has prescribed it. It can help with the side effects.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Hi Guys and Dolls! I am so excited! I had my first MTX injection and I'm not sick! He started me on 4 mg and will increase weekly. The latest test showed my RF to be 124, which is down from the one a year ago of 156. I sure hope this is good news!
