Re: Re: start mtx injections tonight

[Guest guest]

I just started the injectable this week. I had a bit of nausea and a

headache after the shot but the headache was gone as fast as it came on. THe

nausea lasted a day or 2. The shot is easy. I also take Humera. The Humera

hurts when the medicine hits so I was a bit afraid ion the MTX, but as far

as injection went it was no problem
