[halsey18]

hey how y'all doing?? hope everyone feeling well

so I've started my methotrexate injection 5 months ago but these days my knees feels so itchy and my arms too, this is the first time to feel this itchiness since i started my medications. i'm just asking if any one had experienced this before or is it just me

p.s i'm 18 years old,

have a great day!

Itching is not always a good sign it could be many things. Contact your clinic. In the meantime try an antihistamine and see if have some relief.

Hi. Mtx can sometimes cause itchy skin so it would be a good idea to contact your rheumatology nurse or GP. They will probably arrange for a blood test.
