RF changed from positive to negative
Following his diagnosis in December, he had been injecting
Metoject
12.5mg, then 10mg for 5 months. His anti-CCP test was positive and quite high. Many thanks.

Rituximab and statins - a good combo?
I also have the
Metoject
(20mg) and take sulfasalazine. They're my main ones...along with a concoction of other meds: omeprazole, vitamin D3, folic acid, calceous, ferrous sulphate and etoricoxib. Oh, I'm seropositive RA and I'm flaring big time - high CRP & ESR.

Bruising at site of Metoject injection.
Last time I did my
Metoject
injection there was 9 days ago - I alternate legs so it was the right side this Monday. It is an area of about 6" x 10" and isn't painful to touch. Any ideas?

Different brands of Methotrexate
He prescribed for the first 3 months and I was given
metoject
and it worked marvellously with my inflammation levels going right down. After 3 months, my GP took over the prescription and he prescribed Nordimet.

Very high anti-CCP results
Does he need to increase his
Metoject
dose to make anti-CCP go down? Or should we ignore the elevated anti-CCP test as long as his ESR and rheumatoid factor are fine? Perhaps, anti-CCP is not a very informative test for tracking the progress in treatment?

Methotrexate. How low should immune response be?
I've been on 20mg
metoject
pen for 8wks. My most recent bloods came back with several abnormal results. Most being the ones to do with immune response.

GI problems and RA ?
Had problems with
Metoject
Mtx as previously posted. I stopped all meds as I was feeling dreadful and needs to re-align. RA is flaring, but other than left hand and wrist, not dreadful.

Methotrexate - stiffness
Am on my 5th does of
metoject
and I also take Cimzia. Was already feeling the benefits with reduced pain levels and stiffness. Woke up this morning and my joints are very stiff. Pain has not increased much but stiffness really difficult. Am anxious as I have had biologics fail on me before.

Depo-Medrone is done with me, but lasted almost a month
So back to stiffness and hand/wrist issues and the
Metoject
doesn't seem to help at all. 17.5ml not doing anything worthwhile and I am about to start 20 ml but have little hope of it helping.

Nasal flu spray and metoject
Is it safe for my 10 year old son to have his nasal flu spray while I am on
metoject
? I have also been told I need to have a flu jab but I am worried.

Methofill pens... what a beast
I'm not best thrilled to be fair, my prescription specifically said
metoject
, the chemist did confess the person who submitted the order was wrong but then went to guilt me into taking these as they didn't know how to remedy the situation.

Flare clinic - update, still not wearing flares though π
So they will increase my
Metoject
Mtx to 20ml which is as much as I can have as Iβm too petite to take 25 ml (never had that before). Also had a Depo-Medrone injection. It was all much less stressful than I anticipated and after a really long sleep I feel good this morning.

One week till my Rheumy appt. scans and biologic nurse... following a Methotrexate failure...
I have had a break from Methotrexate for 4 weeks now, I ran out of lower dose and was just not able to tolerate the 20ml (
metoject
). What I have discovered is that Mtx seriously affects my mental health over time, it seems to gradually build up as the drug builds up in my system.

Long term flare, not releasing its grip but making mine weak!
Metoject
improved things but didn't solve the problem. I know steroids would sort it out but having read taking prednisone automatically puts you on the 'at risk' list, I have and am resisting it.

Thursday - Why is stiffness not referred to as painful seizure of the joints!!
It is becoming abundantly clear that
Metoject
is not controlling my RA! I am due to up the dosage today - so we shall see how that goes. As yet, I have continued to avoid taking the Prednisone but I fear I may have to give in to it.

It is not Sunday - but I thought I would update you on my diet experiment
Last Thursday, my
Metoject
Mtx dose went up slightly from 15ml to 17.5ml. On Sunday, I also stopped taking Naproxen - so have had no NSAIDS at all.
