Guest guest Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 HI , I get a headache and a sore throat every week from the MTX. The headache feels like a sinus headache and usually lasts a day. My throat for a day will feel as if I am coming down with a mild sore throat but it goes away about the time the headache leaves. A couple of times I have even detected a little hoarseness for a few hours. I also experience nausea for a while and get diarrhea 24 hrs. later..... _Methotrexate, Headache, and Throatpain _ ( /message/126355;_ylc=X3oDMTJyNjA4dmVqBF\ 9TAzk3MzU5NzE1BGdycElkAzEwMTQ3OARn cnBzcElkAzE3MDUwNjE2MTAEbXNnSWQDMTI2MzU1BHNlYwNkbXNnBHNsawN2bXNnBHN0aW1lAzEyMz UxNjg3Nzg-) Hi All, I'm wondering whether anyone here also gets both a headache and a throat ache from taking Methotrexate. I'm on 15mg/wk of Metho which I take every Monday night. Usually on Wednesday, but sometimes as late as Friday, I get a headache along with some throat pain at the same time. I think a headache may be common with metho, but I've never heard about the throat pain. It is really hard to describe but the best way to describe it would be it's like a headache in my throat. It throbs and waxes and weens just like my headache. Once the headace is gone, so is the throat pain. Anyone else ever experience this? I'm must wondering whether it is related to the metho or not. **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Hello All The day after I take 20 mg of methotrexate I used to go through some minor flare ups and a few hours where I had no energy. I still experience those symptoms but not as much since I started Humira. My Dr told me the flare-ups and tiredness were typical side effects for some. It was usually gone the following day.
