Guest guest Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Sara, We started our daughter, age 4, on MTX shots around Thanksgiving. I was a wreck. I couldn't imagine giving shots to her every week. She actually likes them better than the pills. She says they don't hurt -we use Emla cream first - and she doesn't have to swallow seven pills. Best of all they are working! I feel like I am getting a glimpse of who my daugher really is after almost 2 years of watching her in pain. I wish you equal succes and ease!

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Hi All, I am about to start my fourth week of methotrexate. Working up to 15mgs. I understand this drug can cause hair loss. Has anyone been on it long term and have or haven't you experienced any hair loss? Also, my rheumy didn't say anything about folic acid, but my multivitamin has 800 mcgs. of folic acid in it. Is this enough? If I take more do I need to take extra B12 with it? (Do you think the rheumy not mentioning folic acid indicates maybe he is not up to par?) Best to everyone, Ira Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
