Hello, hope you are all having a pain free day, I had to go to my doctors today to have my last steroid injection and get my results, well my CRP had gone down to 9.7, Which is excellent news, and my ALT was 45 a little higher than last time but still fine,
But i have a question on these, and also on the drugs i am taking (Methorexate),
I take my meds on Sunday, But last Sunday after a hour of taking them i came over feeling really chilly, For the first hours i went to bed and wrapped myself up under the duvet....A hour later i was still feeling ruff and dizziness also happened when i stood up,
I decided to go to my front room with a hot water bottle,and put the fire on full, covering my self with as many blankets as possible, This then lasted for at least another hour before i was feeling a lot better, I spoke to my nurse today, who told me i should of called the Clinical Nurse specialist for advice, But if you are anything like me, I kept thinking give it another 30 minutes and i will see how i fill, Well i was told of so i will not be making that mistake again,
When i told her she also said that it could be to do with the Methorexate So see how you are this week...Just wondering have any of you had this reaction on this drug, or any other? Also as i have told you i take my Methorexate on a Sunday, I have been having my blood taken on a Monday over the past 4 weeks, Would my results make any different's? As even thou my results are really good i don't fill it, It seem's by about Friday my joints seems to get really sore and tied again, do you think i should change my day that i have my blood taken? so that i and the Gp get the correct results?
Thanks for taking time to read my questions............
Take care Xxx
