Methotrexate side effects

Hi all, I posted for the first time about 3 weeks ago regarding the side effects I was experiencing from an increase in my metho dose. A big thank you to all who replied you were a great help. 

I cut my dose back to 17.5mg and contacted my GP then my consultants secretary and I am going to give injections a go. I have an appointment next week to show me how to do the injections. If you all hadn't replied to my post I wouldn't even have known about the injections so, once again thank you all!
