Air travel with metoject
Am hoping to fly with RyanAir to visit my brother in Spain. Does anyone know if they insist on a doctor's letter, or is it ok if in sealed packet with pharmacy label. Extra cost of a letter more than the flight!

Advice on MTX and Covid vaccine.
I was advised to continue as normal with
METOJECT
and have the vaccine. Pleased to say that I’ve not been experienced any problems and I’ve had 3 Covid vaccines. I hope that this helps.

Tocilizumab, Metoject/booster vaccine/possible positive
My
Metoject
injection is due Saturday. I'm not sure whether to do my injections this week. Also, if I was to become Covid positive, should I stop Tocilizumab and/or
Metoject
? I know we're not doctors, but I've asked GP and rheumatology team and haven't got any answers. I need to decide today.

Update on first NHS Rheumatology Appointment
I said about the side effects I assume from
metoject
(& possibly lefluminode) & asked about additional folic acid tablets, he said no probs he'd change my prescription 😀 he said its difficult to know if it's the meds or condition that causes them & wants to see how I get on between now & March on 15mg

Help. Metoject pen fail
Hi everyone, just administered my
metoject
, counted to 10 then removed and most of the liquid ran across my stomach, there's definitely a puncture hole in my stomach, there's a tiny bit left but can't reinject, but no idea what I should do.

Amgevita - Advice needed
I was using a
metoject
pen however this is not effective since I stopped due to covid. I've been told it works well together and I should see my symptoms subside within a few weeks- I can hardly walk and work full time. It's a struggle everyday and some days I don't want to be here.

Lloyds Pharmacy Clinical Homecare Tocilizumab delivery 👎
So, Tocilizumab - weekly injections,
Metoject
(22.5mg) - weekly injections and Sulfasalazine tablets - 800mg, plus other bits and pieces for me - I sure know how to rock'n'roll 😁I just hope that it's not too long before they kick in 🤞

Update on chest pain (wow, sorry its so longwinded) 😅
I explained that the plan with the private consultant was to give it till December with the increase in lefluminode dose from 10 to 20mg but as I'd missed 2 doses of the
metoject
through being so ill & a dose failing I'm now in a flare but feel I need to give it another month or I'll have to try sulfazine

How to treat lethargy on MTX?
Hi there folks, I've been diagnosed with RA about 9 months now, in that time I've gone from 20mg MTX tablets and 5mg folic acid ( which worked well for the condition but gave intermittent nausea ) to 20mg
Metoject
pen ( which has been reduced from 25mg due to toxicity but provides 85 -90% symptom relief

Pleurisy & covid jab
Gp rang & said I needed a f2f but not to have my
metoject
for 1 - 2 weeks as my immune system is obviously very low, I mentioned the covid jab & he said definitely not to have
metoject
to give the vaccine a better chance.

Visit to rheumatology today...I wasn't expecting change of meds!
Meanwhile, I continue with 22.5mg
Metoject
and Sulfasalazine 😖I don't understand why she didn't apply for it there and then, like normal? A bit miffed at the moment to be honest. Anyone on Tocilizumab? Apparently, it will be weekly injections.

Is there an alternative equivalent to methotrexate?
Had my next dose of
metoject
on Monday & by last night & this morning my back is as bad as before, could both the pins & needles & the pain in my back / side / front be caused by
metoject
?

First time using metoject tonight.
Anyway, back to the
metoject
, I asked the chemist about the sharps bin who said it should have been put on prescription but I could buy one, it was only £1.54 so no probs, I also asked if the
metoject
came with antiseptic wipes which it doesn't, they said it's fine to just inject without using one?

Flu jab should I go?
I've also got a slightly sore throat from coughing & trying to speak, I've also got lots of mouth ulcers which seems odd that I'm now having
metoject
(20mg) instead of oral MTX, I've still got a sore on the top of my foot that's been there since August aswell as a few other sores that aren't healing.

Currently medication is: Thyroxine 50mcg
Metoject
Pen 20mg Folic Acid 5mg Evacal D3 1500mg Ramipril 5mg Alendronic Acid 70mg Thyroxine reduced from 100mcg to 75mcg in 2013. GP said I was over medicated in June 2019 so reduced dose to 50mcg.

Face to face appointment with rheumatology nurse today....I stamped my painful feet (metaphorically speaking)
My
Metoject
has been increased from 20mg to 22.5mg weekly on my request. I was in there around 45 minutes! The rhemy clinical nurse told me that, on average, Rituximab (Rixathon in my case) takes 2 to 3 times to have an effect!!

Rheumatology in Norfolk UK
I'm pretty established with my GP and rheumatology team and have never been refused for funding for my meds (
Metoject
, biologics - currently Rituximab) and I'm worried whether I'll get worse service. Do any of you lovely people on here live in that county?
