Re:Needle size and reactions...

[Guest guest]

HI Darlene,

I take the MTX orally but am very much considering injecting it. Taking

it orally is really messing up my GI track. I wanted to let you know that I

did respond to your last post to me off list. Hope you received it

okay..

Hi everyone, hope you're all pain free or dealing with it easily.

I am wondering how everyone takes their MTX injection. When I started I

was using a 23 or 25 gauge by 3/8 or 1 inch. EVERY SUNDAY I WOULD DREAD THE

THOUGHT OF THAT NEEDLE!!!! I was told and shown by the nurse that the

injection should go IM. Now with a new script in hand I go to the pharmacist

only

to be told that the script stated SQ. FINE!!! He gives me the new needles

31g by 5/16. OOOOHHH MMMYYY GGGAAAWWDDD! These are nothing compared to the

previous, so I call the Doc, " whats up with the size needle? " She made a

mistake, wants it IM not SQ, reorders more needles at my cost!!!!!!

Heres the problem... with the IM injection, the nausea was immediate.

With the SQ I barely have any sickness, can anyone concur.

Also, does anyone feel a difference with air condition ie: too cold.

Feeling better in hot humid Park Ridge,

newbie darlene.
