Guest guest Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 RA is a sneaky devil, that's a good way to describe it! When I was taking the oral MTX I usual had diner, waited an hour and then took it with food on my stomach. I took it as late as possible to try to sleep off the worst of the side effects. Then I counted the next day as " hangover " day because I wasn't much good for anything. Occasionally it would do things like you say so there are weeks when you never know what to expect. Stan Seattle, Sun! [ ] RA is a sneaky devil Hi group: So I was feeling better after my 2nd dose of MTX , only slept all nite Friday and until 5PM Sat, got up felt better. Â yesterday, I felt really ok , no swelling, mild stiffness. Â Last night the jaw was aching badly, it made me miserable, today too (ugh!). Â The nausea started up again too, this morning. Has anybodies nausea skipped a day after a dose of MTX and then come back? Has anyone noticed that their timing becomes a little off too? Â I have a little confusion and a slight delay. Worried because my rheumy wants me to stop prednisone , so I am trying to follow her directions. Â I will see what happens. Still deciding whether which side of heaven the MTX is Sorry bout all this reporting, but I am sure I have plenty of buddies out there in RA land.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 You guys are sooo right!! When I was still working I had to organize my days off according to when I took the MTX. And there is always the day lag before you feel the brunt of the effects. I've been taking it for ten years and its gotten a little better but not much. But boy do I feel it if I miss a shot! So " you can't live with it, you can't live without it " heeeeheee MicheleBB P.S. I hope the sun is shining in Seattle Stan! hahaha > > > > RA is a sneaky devil, that's a good way to describe it!

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 I have always wanted to go to Seattle. I think it would be the perfect city for me because I love rainy days!!! So viva Seattle!! heehee MicheleBB > > > > Our news people here are really terrible. The thing people don't know about Seattle is that it looks like a huge city, but the fact is that it is really not. There's only six million people in the whole State. There's around two million in and around the Seattle area. Comparing to Los Angeles , there's twenty-million in Los Angles county alone! So the local news crews are constantly competing with each other to get the ratings. The result is we have the " National Enquirer " of news. They are constantly exaggerating everything in the clips to get people to watch. The point is, we have had a good roll of " no rain " days and we might even set a record, like fourteen whole days without rain. The News reports people are getting nervous about it, people want the rain. What? NO THEY DON'T. What people? Where? Lol ! Everyone is enjoying it, it's kinda like what it should be like - normal! And when the weather is bad, well, they report it in " biblical " dimensions - makes me laugh! > > > > Stan > > Seattle, Sun! > > P.S. They also report about things like getting cats out of trees! lol > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Hi Stan: I so agree with you about RA and the meds. we take. The MTX pills made me so sick 24/7, I felt like I was dying. The inject. has worked so good for me. I hope I can always stay on MTX. Glad to see you are having so many sunny days.. always sunny here in S.W. Flordia, most afternoons we are lucky to be having rain. We needed it so badly. I love rainy days but we don't get many for all day and all night. Darn!! Hoping you are feeling better, and wishing you pain free days ahead. Hugs, Barbara > > > > RA is a sneaky devil, that's a good way to describe it!
