Certainly here in the UK a large number of people inject at home. Hopefully some USA people will know for you. People here do it as it reduces a lot of the side effects.

Oh my word, I am so sorry your health care people have left you so uninformed!

Absolutley you can self-inject your MTX. In fact, it is encouraged. There are so many people in the US taking MTX, it would be a huge burden on health care systems to have to do the injecting for them.

In the US, there are 43 million reported cases of Arthritis of various types, mostly inflammatory, except for Osteoarthritis.

Are you living in the states, or just visiting? Either way, I hope you are getting along Ok and are able to do what you want. That is our goal, no matter where we live. Stay in touch! Loret xxxx

Loret, Do you live in the U.S and inject at home?

in reply toTShea

Yes to both. I'm in Northern Ohio, right near the coast of Lake Erie, one of the Great Lakes. Where are you?
