Guest guest Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 hey Cindi, Are the shots worth it?? That is something you are going to have to answer for yourself. I don't think I would tolerate the injections well. The symptoms you describe are the same ones I get when I take the pills when I took my full weeks dose at one time. That's why I prefere the pills becasue I can spread the dose out over a week and have fewer side effects. Those symptoms are rough. The question is which is worse, the disease or the cure?? I know MTX is no where near a cure, but the treatment doesn't sound any better. Are the pills not an option for you?? I take 20mg a week and spread it over the 7 days (1/day Mon-Sat. and 2 on Sunday). That made all the difference for me. Hope you get to feeling better. Take Care......Marina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 Hey Cindi, That's great!! I'm so glad you're doing better. Hey, those kids don't know what's in!! Toe rings are all the rave!! Besides, if it makes you feel good, then why the heck not!! Sounds like getting out of the house was just what you needed!! I'm doing ok. Went back to work today for the first time in 5 1/2 months. It felt a little strange, but good at the same time. They gave me a card today with $455 in it!!! They collected it for me because of the financial straits I have been in. I just couldn't believe it!! I really love those guys!! That just made my day. It's always nice to know your loved!!! I'm still having a lot of pain and stiffness, but I'm not surprised either. I've come off the steroids again and the evil demon RA is creeping back up on me!!! You take care!! I am soooo glad to hear you are doing well!! Talk to you later....Marina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
