Re: MTX shots - Barbara, Leucovorin

[Guest guest]

Barbara, My new rheumy just prescribed Leucovorin for me and I'm waiting for it

to come in the mail. What exactly is it for? He told me but I was in such

shock from being told i had Lupus too that it went over my head! lol Thanks,

S.

made me so sick to my stomach 24/7 I just could not take that anymore.  I take

my shot each Thursday night and it is fine.  No more nausea etc.  I use my

thighs, and alternate every other week.  It does not hurt and very rarely will

there be any blood.  I do take Leucovorin 24 hours after I inject my MTX.
