Guest guest Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Hi , Thanks very much for your support and prayers. I'm glad you are so positive and have a lovely grand daughter and family to keep you going. How long did the MTX side effects last for you - a day, or longer ? It's horrible stuff. all the best, Leonie (Australia) > > From: mumpup2000 <leoniecent@...> > Subject: [ ] reactions to meds > > Date: Monday, 23 March, 2009, 12:02 AM > > > > > > > Hi all, What's wrong with me ? I hate MTX and just want to die when i take it, since i feel so lousy. I suppose i just have to go to bed and stay there when I take it ?? I thought it was meant to give you a life back, not take it away ? Other people seem to tolerate meds well and love taking all the meds they can lay their hands on, but not me... I hate the stuff. Maybe it's my constitution or something, but there doesn't seem to be any allowance for people who cant tolerate the drugs very well - even if it's psychologicaly, it's still real. I feel like a whinger and a hypochondriac. I can't go on like this... what can I do ?Does it ever get any better ? > best, > leonie > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Hi Leonie, Hate to say it but I had the nausea etc every week for 6 years. It's not something your body gets used to with time. I was never offered the injected MXT so don't know whether that would have helped. The hair loss was the worst for me, but when I was changed to Sulphasalazine, my hair grew back and no more nausea. You'll find it's trial and error with everything. What works for one doesn't work for another. You have got to believe there is something there for you. Never give up hope as new drugs are appearing all the time. I have days of total despair, but like everything else in life, nothing is forever. The sun shines,flowers grow,the leaves start appearing on the trees,everything in life is a circle. So as you feel bad, a good day is coming. I hope your good days are coming soon. Love and best wishes x From: mumpup2000 <leoniecent@...> Subject: [ ] /Re: reactions to meds Date: Monday, 23 March, 2009, 3:00 AM Hi , Thanks very much for your support and prayers.
