From what I have heard a change of one day either way is not significant.

Subject: Methotrexate Shots

I was wondering how I can move the time day when I give myself my shots. I am currently doing the injection Wednesday am as I started by going to the doctor and he gave them for the first few weeks. I would like to move the time to Tuesday pm. Can I just take it early or should I move to taking it Wednesday pm, then Thursday am, then Thurs. pm etc. I go into the next town for a lunch where we all speak Norwegian on Wednesdays and I find I am always kinda foggy after I have my shot.Any suggestions?-- "To those who do not know mathematics it is difficult to get across a real feeling as to the beauty, the deepest beauty, of nature. If you want to learn about nature, to appreciate nature, it is necessary to understand the language that she speaks in." -- P. Feynman

I think as long as you are just moving within a day or 12 hours, there shouldn't be a problem.

I had to move my Humira shot over two weeks to get back on track and I moved it by one day each time. This was at the suggestion of the pharmacist.

Thank yo for the information Harold and Gloria - I'm hoping it will be

much better to give the shot at night!

When I used them about a year ago they were regular shots but I used very thin

needles. Much easier to do then enbrel or humira. Good luck and hope it helps.

Jolene,

If you still have no health insurance the injections are more expensive.

When I was on Metho several years ago I used insulin needles as they are

smaller.

Very fine Diabetic needles that you don't feel at all.  I have been doing the

MTX injections now for almost 6 years.  Good luck.

But if you try the company that makes the methotrexate they may help.
