Methotrexate by injection

[Laineymacd]

Have people felt the injectable methotrexate works better then the oral?

Just wondering as I started it today

It's been awhile for me since I was on M but I had both ways. Much quicker results from the injection than the pill for me. Good luck, I hope you get relief.

I inject weekly. I think the side effects are much less than oral doses. No mouth sores or nausea. Methotrexate injections alone are not enough to beat back my ra, but it may be the ticket for you. Good luck!

I was on pills for several months with no relief. About 2 weeks to a month after they changed me to injections, I have relief. Not total, but so much better where I feel very functional again.
