Guest guest Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Having used both, I believe the injections offer a little less fatigue and fog but it's much better on the whole digestive system for me I've found that no matter what you do the oral will eventually catch up with you.

It doesn't help with the fatigue and mental fog? I was going to ask my  RA doc for a trial, but if it doesn't help the last two, I don't think I  will.  dd **************We found the real ‘Hotel California’ and the ‘Seinfeld’ diner.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 I think that everyone responds differently to MTX, so it wouldn't hurt to give it a try. I have a lessening of the severity and duration of my symptoms, but it may be different for you. I have to say that it is nice not having that really intense nausea that I would get after taking those pills! Plus, it does save on the stomach, considering all of the other medications we tend to take. It's also cheaper too.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 What about taking Zofran with it? I live on the stuff for 2 days after each Enbrel injection. Helps me a lot with the nausea.
