Advice on increasing MXT Dose please...
I'm on
Metoject
but I know they do 17.5 pens. Shall I stand my ground or accept 20mg? Any thoughts appreciated. Many thanks.

What to do
I would still be on
Metoject
. The biologic was being added as the MTX is not controlling the RA fully, but so far the allergic type response to biologics makes me really reluctant to persist with those.

HRT and RA medication
I take hydroxychloroquine daily (since July 2014) and MTX
metoject
(since Dec 2018) once a week. I took HRT ( for hideous hot flushes) for 11 years with no problems at all and after gradually reducing the dose right down to 3 tablets a week I came off them in January this year.

Cimzia reaction- change to Benepali
I am still on
Metoject
but it’s not holding the RA well and my elbows and wrists are really hurting which is new in last few months. Been on methotrexate 2 years now and it’s a long slow road.

Hi 🙂
I have all my
Metoject
pens, folic acid & all the kit. I have a blood test request for whoever will do it & an appointment with my GP on 17 May to talk to him about what the surgery can do to help (notice! very politely put 🙄).

M-Day! 😬
I gave myself a ‘sharp scratch’ with the pointy end of the
Metoject
Pen this morning, overseen by a gleeful husband waiting for the blood curdling scream 😱. What an anti-climax! I didn’t feel a thing & frantically looked around to find out where the orange liquid had gone!

Tuesday smile..
I had a stock of 8
metoject
pens... Tried the first one - wouldn't work. Tried the second, no luck. Went through my whole stock of 8 cursing that it must be a faulty batch and panicking as I'm going away for 2 weeks and had no methotrexate to take with me.

What exactly does the burning , pain and tinnitus do? if left untreated.
(I am on
metoject
near maximum dose- doing little ) I wonder if anyone can simply explain what damage the burning and pain is doing long term? I feel like I am burning up.

Sodding Neutrophils!
I started
metoject
on 27th December as oral MTX was making me ill and scrawny. However, I've only had 2 jabs so far, thanks to low WBCs and low neutrophils. By rights, I should be about 6 or 7 weeks into these jabs but instead, my fingers are bright red and look like sausages! What comes next?

Scared starting MTX injection
-So next week a nurse is coming to start me on
Metoject
instead I'm getting worried now though, having read some posts about side effects from it, like nausea.. I thought the whole point of the injection was that you don't get nausea from it??

Where to buy metoject
I have taken methotrexate
metoject
from the beginning and I still take it, 7,5 mg weekly now. We do not have
metoject
in our country.

Treatment options -pros and cons
At the moment I am on 20mg
metoject
injections once a week. I’ve been told they can be increased to see if it helps but I’m not keen as I lose 2 days a week with headaches and feeling horrible on them as it is and I’m not keen on making that worse.

Stopping mtx due to being neutropenic.
I have a number of meds, including a mtx injection - 20ml (
metoject
pen) and Cimzia (a biologic in a pen form.) Iver Christmas, I had to stop my mtx as I became neutropenic and some other of my blood results were either too high or too low.

White tongue
Hi I am on Humira and
Metoject
. 2 weeks ago I'd the flu jab ever since my IBS is bad and my mouth is covered inside my lips with cold sores, so I looked inside and to my horror my tongue was heavily coated in yellowy white and mouth ulcers.

Metoject
Hello Everyone, Five weeks ago I started on
Metoject
which is going ok. I'm going aboard soon and have to take one with me any ideas on how to take them? And any ideas on how you bring a used one back. I just wondered how others do this.

There’s no such thing as a random question.......
Anyway back on track, I now have to carry a card with me to show that I take methotrexate (
metoject
pen) because obviously the drug suppresses my immune system. Anyway after lots of chatting and getting my medication, folic acid and sharp boxes (with purple lids) I was sent on my way.
