Guest guest Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Hi, and thanks for the responses about the varying MTX reaction. I'm fortunate in that I don't have any nausea from the med.--my problem is intense fatigue and a very scary image in the mirror on the day after! Glassy eyes, sick-looking, ruddy face, dull expression. In the afternoon, I HAVE to sleep. I have increased the folic acid, but it hasn't helped the " day after " . I don't want to divide the dose becasue I like the idea of taking it at night and sleeping through any initial side effects. Also, I don't want to take the risk of extending the time that I'm not quite myself...I hate not being able to think clearly. I do a lot of writing in my job. I took 7 tabs last week and 8 this week. I think 8 may be too much; I felt a little better on the 7. Lately I've been thinking of the biological meds and wondering if/when the time will come to try that class of drug. I believe I have to " fail " on MTX first, and I don't think that's happening. Sierra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
