Needle size and reactions...

[Guest guest]

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.
