Guest guest Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Hi Peg: Perhaps you could switch from oral MTX to the injectible? It would be less hard on your stomach. Also don't forget your Folic Acid. Kathe in CA --- peggy sue <peggylm20@...> wrote: > Hey to all, > I was having trouble with the anti-inflammatory I > am taking.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Hi Kathe, Thanks for your input. I am wondering if I am not getting enough folic acid. That did not really cross my mind until you mentioned it. I am taking 800mcg a day. Maybe I need a little more. I will check in to that. Thanks again for the support.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Right now, I'm taking 1cc of MTX per week and 3 mg Folic Acid per day. I was as high as 5 mg of Folic for a while after reading about one of my problems being caused by not enough Folic Acid. Dennis Re: [ ] questions??? {Peg Hi Kathe, Thanks for your input.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Dennis, Thanks for the info. I am thinking that I may not be getting enough folic acid. I have a long list of questions for the dr. when I get back there next month. Each day I feel like I add another ? It is really great to have this support group to bounce issues off and to get feedback. Hope all is well with you. Peg Right now, I'm taking 1cc of MTX per week and 3 mg Folic Acid per day.
