Re: MTX med.

April 12, 2008

Yes, the sicky is normal with the MTX. I take mine in the morn cause for me

I don't get sick on it. I am also on Humira and honestly lately I have been

battling a lot of pain and not much better, I think for me its because here

down south its gotten so humid. Basically all my doc says is we are controlling

the damage and trying to keep it from getting it worse, I have never heard of

remission for RA, just keeping it under control, so I am of no help. I am

just happy when my doc says that I am doing great and not getting any worse,

but lately I can tell it is going down hill cause there are so many more things

that I cannot do anymore.

Ihave taken methotrexate now two times. 4 pills on weds. once a week with

folic acid every day. I also am still taking prednisone every day. I was on

salphasalasine (4 pills every day) the rumy didn't think I was doing as good

as I should so she switched my med. I guess I really don't understand that. I

think I was doing better on the salpasalasine. I get sick to my stomach

every wk when I take the MTX. Is this normal? I also have been haveing more

like

a soarness in my feet (left foot only) and my shoulders and my wrist and

hands. My hands and fingers have always been my problem more than anything

else.

I am so tired all the time. and have been having rectum spasm ( a couple

times, not every day) I have diareah alot. Are these normal things to have with

everything else or not? some times I just feel like it will never end. I read

all your comments and it seems like some of you are doing real well. Don't

get me wrong, there are days when I feel better than others but I am

so different over all than before.When you are in remission does that mean

you are back to narmal or just better with little pain? I am soar every day

and sometimes it is hard to move.I am back to being stiff every morn also with

the MTX. Thans for listening and your input. LINDA
