Severe muscle ache after MTX

I have had MTX injections for 18 months with very few side effects. I missed 2 injections due to taking antibiotics and restarted yesterday morning. Last night I had the usual fatigue/fog and went to bed early. I woke an hour ago with quite severe all over muscle ache. Head to toe. Even when lying down. Like you get with the flu but I not ill. Anyone experienced this?

A flare? What were you taking antibiotics for as that could have triggered it.

It doesn’t feel like a flare. It’s definitely muscular not joints.
