Guest guest Posted October 23, 2002 Report Share Posted October 23, 2002 Hi, I know exactly how you feel! I was there myself a little over a year ago. The Mtx caused severe fatigue, and migrains for me. I actually took the Leucovorin every week (the antidote to MTX) for the entire time I was on it. But the MTX did help with the RA, so it was a trade off. THe RA can also cause the severe fatigue, so you have to look at how much worse that is now that you are on the MTX versus what is was before. It is hasn't changed much, then it is more likely the RA itself. I wish you the best with the MTX, many of the people on this group are on it, and it does seem to work. I moved on to Enbrel and Arava because of side effects only. Even with the antidote, I still had the side effects, and a body can only handle that for so long! Welcome to the group and know that we all do understand and are willing to listen. As I was told, we serve wine and cheese 24/7 with no limit on the whine!
