Guest guest Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Sandy, I missed the beginning of this thread but it sounds like MTX is causing you nausea. This is the reason that my dr changed me from oral to injectable (8 years ago) and it definitely helped with my tolerating it. As the dose was increased (up to the 25 mg max), my nausea returned. I'm now reduced to 17.5 mg/wk because I take Humira also. MTX dosage reduction definitely helps nausea. I too inject it before bedtime as it is very helpful this way. Then I take the Leucovorin 10 hours later (to prevent the mouth sores). Besides nausea, I've felt that MTX causes a slight headache also. Thus, the bedtime injection works best. Good luck to you, Joy, in OH Doreen, hello thank you for your concern, I think I will try the methotrexate before I go to bed, maybe then I will not be ill. Well I guess if we run into trouble with all the surgeries, I think they may be able to get a visiting nurse. Sister in law will have to stay in Pittsburgh longer than my husband. So maybe it will give time for everything else to settle down. And we are praying that the medicine my mother in law is on will work at least until this is all over if be. The sooner the surgery the better. Thanks again..Sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
