Guest guest Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 From what I have heard a change of one day either way is not significant. ----- Original Message ----- From: Rheumatoid Arthritis Sent: Saturday, October 23, 2004 6:35 PM 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.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 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. gloria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Thank yo for the information Harold and Gloria - I'm hoping it will be much better to give the shot at night! gloriarex@... wrote: > 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.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Jolene 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. ~~~~~~~~~~Joy~~~~~~~~~ From: Jolenefive@... <Jolenefive@...> Subject: [ ] methotrexate shots Date: Tuesday, February 16, 2010, 5:35 PM Hi everyone im going to the rheumy tomorrow the first time in six months as i had no health insurance.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Jolene, If you still have no health insurance the injections are more expensive. Deb RN  Debra ________________________________ From: <diana92350@...> Sent: Tue, February 16, 2010 5:48:44 PM Subject: Re: [ ] methotrexate shots  When I was on Metho several years ago I used insulin needles as they are smaller.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 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.  Hugs,  Barbara From: Jolenefiveaol (DOT) com <Jolenefiveaol (DOT) com> Subject: [ ] methotrexate shots @gro ups.com Date: Tuesday, February 16, 2010, 5:35 PM Hi everyone im going to the rheumy tomorrow the first time in six months as i had no health insurance. Im going to ask for the shots of methotrexate as the metho and the cymbalta make my stomache hurt, can anyone tell me are they regular needles, or like a pen?

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 But if you try the company that makes the methotrexate they may help.   From: Debra <i_ownaberner@...> Subject: Re: [ ] methotrexate shots Date: Tuesday, February 16, 2010, 5:12 PM  Jolene, If you still have no health insurance the injections are more expensive. Deb RN  Debra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
