Methoject

I had my first methoject today at the hospital . I did a lot better than I thought I have really come far in 2 years .

I need to go back for a chest X-ray next week when I’ve got time . The nurse wants a starting point of my lungs as methotrexate on long term use can cause fibrosis of the lungs . I didn’t know that until today !

Hi Lou, I started methoject a couple of months and the difference after about 6 weeks was amazing! Never thought I’d feel this good again so hopefully the same for you.

I honestly don’t even think about the injecting either, just a part of the routine now.

Good luck with it!
