Questions about injectible mtx

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I have been on oral mtx. pills for about 2 years and they make me

very ill for about 2 days after I take them. My rheumy just switched

me to injectible mtx. but I am confused. He wants me to inject 20

mg. once a week but the bottle comes in 50 mg. - I haven't received

my needles yet- do they have something on them to help me measure

this stuff out? Also, what can I expect from this in the way of side

effects- are they as bad as the pills. Are there any things I should

watch for? I have bloodwork done every month to watch for liver

enzymes. This all seems more confusing than anything but I know

someone out there can help answer some questions. Thanks,
