Re: MTX Side Effects Shandi

[Guest guest]

Hi Shandi:

I guess I am lucky, as I have never had any adverse

stomach effects from Mtx. I take it at night, on

Friday, so I can have Sat to recover, as the Mtx does

really wipe me out for that first day. If you have a

lot of stomach problems with the oral Mtx, consider a

switch to the injectible, and you will be able to

avoid the stomach problems. Believe me, giving

yourself a shot is no big deal, I do it with Enbrel,

and also did the injectible Mtx as well.
