Guest guest Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 Hello, I took my first dose of MTX Thursday evening, and it went just fine. Because of my history of sensitivity to meds, I took 5 mg instead of the prescribed 10 mg. (I called and asked the nurse about that idea; she tried to assure me that 10 mg. is a low lose. I'm sure she's right, but nearly every other med I've taken at the prescribed dose has been too strong for me.) I'm curious about how many of you have experienced various infections due to the immunosuppression? One of the reasons I was nervous about starting it was because a few months ago, a co-worker told me about a friend who was in the hospital because of a bad respiratory infection related to her MTX. (The co-worker did not know I have RA.) Sierra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
