Try drinking a little more water to see if it will shift the headache... since taking MTX I practically drown myself to keep headaches at bay.

I hope the med works well for you.

All the best

Good, but is the headache continual or can you relate it to a specific time before or after you take MTX Denise? x

I'd increase your intake of water on MTX day then as Ali has already suggested, see if that helps first. x

Maybe you should ask your doctor if you can have an increase in folic acid?
