Mtx allergy

Hi everyone. Hope your all doing well.

I have been on mtx injection since October and I have just had my dose today about an hour after taking it my feet and hands arms started itching really bad !

How do I know it's the mtx?

I don't want to come off it as it really works for me .I had this problem with naproxen last year.i am so frustrated at it could be happening again with a drug I need.

Anyone had same problem?

Should I try again next week to see if it happens again?

Any helpwould be welcome.

Talk to your GP about it, as perhaps something temporary that could be sorted by using an anti-histamine for a bit? Or whether there are different versions that use different carrying agents? I know you take injections but some people are sensitive to the lactose in tablets and it's that that causes problems not the drug itself. Maybe there's an equivalent with injections?
