Guest guest Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Hi all, I had my first Methotrexate shot today. Now I'm waiting to see what side effects, if any I'll have. Did any of you have an odd taste in your mouth from the shot? I have a hard time describing the taste, but even after eating, it's still there. I had my shot around noon, and by 4:00 I could tell that I was quite fatigued. Don't know if its the MTX or just RA that has me in such a fatigued state. I guess tomorrow will be the tell tale sign of whether I'll be throwing up or not. Tonight I just feel a bit odd in my stomach, not nauseated yet, but close. It comes in waves. So, I return once a week for a shot and each visit the dose is increased. Then on the 4th visit for shot, I'll see my rheumy and discuss how things are going. I assume this is normal protocol for this med and treatment. Some have said that they take folic acid along with MTX. This was never brought up by the nurse as an option or that it was part of their plan treatments. I guess maybe they are waiting to see how I do on the MTX before introducing anything else. I'd appreciate input on this as to whether this sounds like normal MTX protocal as well as side effects. Thanks, Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
