MTX

[Guest guest]

I ordered the methotrexate from my local Costco ( cheapest I can find) but they

didn't have my prescription. They ordered the injectable drug from my telephone

call, I purchase a lot of drugs from Costco. I went up last night with my

prescription for methoterxate, they had 3 bottles of injectable ready for me but

the pharmacist freaked out about the instructions. .04 cc's of methotrexate in a

glass of orange juice once weekly. The Pharmacist refused to put the doctors

instructions on the prescription, if I wanted it then, she would only put " As

directed " On the label. I said ok, as long as she gave me a copy of the

prescription. I injection MTX .04 cc , didn't take it in orange juice because I

have a problem with auto immune colitis, but my new Rheumy said it would be fine

if I drank it with orange juice. I thought the whole thing was funny,LOL!! The

pharamanist (s) was going to call my doctor the next day. Thanks , I double

checked the dosage and it's .04cc once a week. I think he said he would raise

the dosage at my next visit if my bloodwork was ok.

Thanks for the funny email Dixie!!

I think I am soo lucky, I'm divorced, raised 4 children, have 3 grandchildren

and I sleep ALOT!!. I don't have to answer to anyone, I get burst of energy and

do something around the house or work in my garden. I honestly do not feel

guilty if I take a nap, or come home from work and sleep 36 hours at a time if

I'm flaring.

I honestly thank God daily that I'm alone. My former husband, boyfriends, and

even some friends expected me to be a " party animal " . Fun all the time with

energy to share. That was me at one time, but I feel good if I finish a week at

work and I have comfort in my home. My life has changed drastically, but that

doesn't mean it was bad. I am ok with my life and I appricate life, Life is

Good!!! It's all a matter of attitude!! Thanks for all of your support!! You

guys are my solid ground!
