dermatology appointment

Today's dermatology appointment went fine. He agreed that because of my symptoms on oral MTX a move to the injection could definitely benefit me so I've got an appointment to go back in 3 weeks to start the injections. He's also upped my dose to 20mg a week and will likely increase it again when I start the injections.

it's just a waiting game now.

Although tonight because I'm so tired I have accidentally taken both my Methotrexate and Folic Acid, should this cause any problems?

Hi Athens

So glad your dermatology appt went well and your being moved onto MTX injections. They reach the body quicker so could well be more effective.

Good luck for learning them, sure you'll do well!. Don't worry about having taken folic acid on same day as MTX. I shouldn't think it will make a difference as a one off!. Keep us posted. X
