I made it through the night !

[jeanjack]

I am pleased to say that after taking my first dose of MXT I made it through the night and woke up this morning without any feelings of sickness. I know it's early days but so far so good. I feel so much better for having got that first dose over with. I must say a very big thank you to all those people on this site who have supported and encouraged me over the last 24 hours. I am so glad I joined. Jean x

great news, I was getting a lot of side affects with the MTX, but they have now upped my Folic acid to every day and things are a lot better, Take Care shirley xx

I have never had any sickness with MTX and from the start I was prescribed 5mg Folic Acid every day except the day I take the MTX. I wonder why different rheumatologists prescribe FA differently when it seems every one who takes it 6 times a week does better than on a lesser dose? Kathy

My query too. Mine even says I should take it the same day, but in am when im due to inject at night. Strange one.

Good luck ... As said, always nerve racking to do the new med. Hope it works great for you. x
