start mtx injections tonight

[Guest guest]

Well! I can't believe how much better mtx made me feel .... except for the

nausea for about 36 hours after taking it. My rheumy is starting me on mtx

injections and I take my first one tonight. I had to take a bunch of shots

when trying to conceive my son, but I wasn't this nervous to give them to

myself. I don't know why this med is making me so nervous. Please,

someone, tell me it's not bad.

Also, do you have to keep the mtx in the fridge?

Thanks!

I used to feel nauseated and tired for a day or two after taking it,

but my body got used to it after about 4 weeks. I still take it a

little before bedtime as I do get very tired about an hour or so

after taking it, but I'm fine the next day. I also got mouth sores

and still get an occasional one but he did up my folic acid I take 3

a day. Hope you get used to the shot quickly.

Best of luck, KD with your MTX injection tonight. It does not need to

be refrigerated. I was on the pills and switched to injections several

weeks ago. I prefer the injections. There is not gastro upset and the

sleepiness doesn't last as long as it did with the pills.

So, its NOT bad. Best of luck to you. Let us know how you did.

Hope all goes well with your MTX injections. They have worked well for

me. No more nausea, thank God. I just keep my MTX in my cabinet, it

doesn't need to be kept cold, just room temp.

Wishing you pain free days ahead.

Hugs,
