Guest guest Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Â I wanted to give a big thank you to everyone who replied to my post. I took my MTX on Sat. and by the next morning all I felt was a little tired. It could have been because my 2 year old that was sleeping with us kept having a bad night with sleeping. It did wake me up a few times but over all I was good. Â So thanks again for all the help! You all are great! Â Cheli ________________________________ From: " hlhsinfo@...

He is starting me on 4 pills. He wants me to take Folic Acid 1mg Mon-Fri. Does anyone want to tell me anything before I take this? Any pointers or things to watch out for? I have heard a lot of bad stuff about this drug. I told my doctor about this and he said remember the people that have problems with it will always tell the bad stuff. I have heard some good stuff but I'm worried about it. I hate feeling sick to my stomach. He also said I could have diarrhea from it. That will not be a good thing for me. I heard about the hair loss. How bad is it really? Will it be that noticeable? Ok I think everyone has gotten my thoughts about this so I will end it now. Lol.
