Metoject pen - faulty?
Been using
metoject
for a while now, about a year. A few weeks ago I got my delivery, & every single week when I pull the yellow top off, a few globs come out of the needle & sit in the plastic casing around the needle. Hmmmm.

Imraldi started Jan 23
Was diagnosed with PSA in Sept 21(previously just arthritis) have been on Sulfasalazine since December 20, Methotrexate tablets from Sept 21 which were changed to
metoject
in April 22 because of side effects and not really helping!

Methofill
I have returned the methofill to the Pharmacy and picked up the
metoject
this morning. Worth checking that your prescription does actually specify
metoject
to avoid the same thing happening to you! I hope this is helpful.

6th Covid jab
Could I ask around, what's your opinion about me taking the 6th dose of Covid vaccine if only on 15 mg
Metoject
and not being considered severely immunosupresed. Would you go for it?

Flaring up after Booster
I suppose I'm a bit wary as I will not be able to take my
metoject
for two weeks and also because ever since my mum had her booster last June, she has had constant problems with her right shoulder and arm.

More positive news from France
She's provided me with means to titrate my
Metoject
by giving me 2 prescriptions. One at 17.5mg which has worked well and one at 20mg. I will alternate for the next few weeks. I am shocked and pleased that she still feels there can still be some improvement in my hands.

Swelling back after knee aspiration
I am on a weekly
Metoject
20mg and 6x 500g Sulfasalazine daily. It tends to be my knees that are particularly affected and over the last 10 days, the swelling in my right knee became enormous - so painful.

Metoject and water intake.
Not sure if this is a silly question but do I need to increase my water intake when taking Methotrexate by
Metoject
. I know it goes straight into the bloodstream but I just want to be sure.

methotrexate leaking from metoject pen
any advice please??? I started the injection this morning but once it had clicked and the needle had dropped down, all the methotrexate was suddenly pooled at the base of the pen, on my leg. I quickly removed it, mopped it up and washed. The needle had punctured my skin but I don’t think any of the

Metoject pen first time.
I used my
Metoject
pen for the first time this morning. It would have been simple if my thumbs had any strength in them 🤪. I managed, felt absolutely nothing and wondered whether I'd actually done it.

I stopped Imraldi and
Metoject

My rheumy visit today + METOJECT
I am happy with the outcome of my visit to my rheumy today. Unaccompanied due to Covid restrictions so my translator had to stay in the car. New X-rays show deterioration in my right index finger and arthritis in my feet and my left ankle. She calls my 10mg dose small! I am happy with that.

Potential Potency of Methotrexate taken by Metoject.
I am taking 7.5mg of methotrexate by
Metoject
, the nurse who instructed me advised that this method could increase the potency significantly as it goes straight into the blood stream rather than being metabolised as tablets are.

Outcome of Telephone Appointment with Rheumy Nurse re Methotrexate
My queries were about my weekly MTX injection, I told her there is now a warning sticker on the
Metoject
Pen, which Mrs Nails had drawn my attention to. It advises patients to report various symptoms and to avoid excessive caffeine consumption, which I thought was a bit disturbing.

Bunions! 🦶🏻🦶🏻
I have Sulfasalazine, mtx (
Metoject
) and Tocilizumab, as my main RA meds. My worry is that my Tocilizumab might stop working if I have a break, as one of my other meds did when I had to have a break from it. I have been told that Tocilizumab is my last biologic as I have had 6!!
