Hi Wolves
I always feel very tired the day after my MTX, I think you will find a lot of people on here tell you the same.
Glad your pain has improved.
Mary

thanks mazza59
I went through a stage of getting a lot of pain in my neck and shoulders - felt like a bad crick but came and went over a few days each time. I think it was the RA for sure because of the way it arrived and departed so randomly. I haven't had it since starting the MTX - so hopefully once the MTX kicks in properly you will find the neck and other pains go away. Good luck and welcome to the site. Tilda x
