METOJECT...injectable methotrexate

[tovi]

Has anybody tried this, I. have just received my box of items today.

I can't start just yet as I am on anti bionics. (ha ha spelling mistake... bionics I wish)

Does it work better than the methotrexate tablets.

TBH I am a bit afraid of injecting myself!

Hi Tovi,

I have heard it's "more tolerable" than the oral form of methotrexate. I do not know first-hand and I am not a medical professional.

I've heard of methotrexate being used with autoimmune types of arthritides. Are you using in to treat another condition, other than Fibromyalgia?

I hope methotrexate helps you.

Yeah I probably should of said... Arthritis

Tovi, Sorry you have the extra condition to deal with.

It may help to know many here also deal with one form of arthritis or another.

I also deal with an autoimmune type of arthritis. I have not had to use methotrexate yet. If I did have to try methotrexate, I believe I would want the injectable form over the oral form; however, my insurer would make me try the oral form first.

I truly hope you find your treatment helpful.

Enjoying your posts.

Hi tovi, i do not take this medication but i have been injecting myself for several years for migraines. You really do get used to doing it quite quickly, i almost do it in my sleep as i frequently wake in the night or very early mornings with migraines and the injection must be administeted imediately to work effectively. I hope this alleviates your fear somewhat.

sorry if my reply is a bit off-topic - I avoid meds like the plague; use homeopathy and tissue salts by way of self treatment only. (Had a spell of paracetamlo 4x2 daily recently but have stopped that now. Read the side effects first, is all I can say.

Best wishes for what you feel helps you!
