I’ve been on mtx for about 7 weeks and have been nauseous for the past 6 days. Sux!
Also on sulfasalazine.
Chronic pain, fibromyalgia.
Lately it’s the constant Achilles tendinitis in my heels that make it so hard to walk.
Q: how do you know if something is working and any suggestions on the Achilles pain?
Thanks!
Have you looked into the possibility that you might have Tendonitis? I had this as a result of being put on Ciprofloxacillin antibiotic. But it can come on for other reasons.

I know it’s 2 months ago but that was a really good article as was the link to rheumatoid arthritis in it. I find it difficult to explain to others sometimes & that was so clear and simple. Thank you 😀👍x
Yes. Thanks. Rheumatologist says it’s Achilles tendinitis. And it just doesn’t seem to go away. Until something else hurts more....
They say the Methitrexate takes 3 months to show a difference. It has certainly worked with me and I am now in month 5. I moved onto injections after 6 weeks of nausea and that is even better.
Folic Acid will frequently help with the nausea. Script only though...
Switch to injections! I'm doing 9th tonight before bed. Last week I started to notice a change in how I feel after 8 injections! The doctor told me 8-12 weeks. So happy and hopeful! I had mild nausea and fatigue the first 2 times. Take your folic acid like clockwork. Gin Gins hard candy is great for the nausea. Also, dextromethorphan is helpful for fatigue. This is clinically proven by a cancer doctor.
She gave me promethazine for nausea but I’m trying not to take it yet. I feel like a pharmacy with all the rx’s In my cupboard!
Also gave me more steroids if I want til the mtx kicks in. But trying not to start that yet so I can see if this other type of folic acid works yet.
I could ask about injections I guess. Thanks!
