Taking metoject in hand luggage
Just wondering if I can take my
metoject
with me if I’m travelling hand luggage only? Thank you for this wonderful group ... Your posts have really help me come to terms with my RA diagnosis which was 6 months ago and I’m still learning the ropes !

Restarting Cimzia after 2 months break
I have been off all my meds (Cimzia,
Metoject
and Sulfasalazine) for 2 months due to a dodgy chest xray. I've also had a ct scan to investigate further. I had a fall last August and have been in a lot of pain since that time.

Persistent low level headache and dizziness since moving from oral MTX to injections . . . or just me being odd?
I moved to 15 mg
Metoject
injections at the end of September. I saw one of the CNS team (really blessed, all lovely) at the start of December and she felt that I'm nowhere near remission and needed a dose increase but as I have an itch without a rash she wanted to be sure it wasn't the MTX.

Chest x-ray - not great 😕
I'm seropositive, and have been since the beginning, and built up to
Metoject
(20ml - reduced recently to 10ml) Cimzia (biologic) and sulfasalazine as my main RA meds. I had a fall in August and hurt my ribs (along with other bits and pieces) which have been painful ever since.

Metoject side sffects
I have recently been changed from methotrexate to
metoject
injection due to ulcers in my mouth being unbearable sore. I now have what looks like water blisters on the sole of my feet and the puss filled ones in my feet. They are not painful thankfully, just uncomfortable.

Respiratory Clinic - chest xray and CT scan 🤔
I am currently off all RA meds (
Metoject
, Cimzia and Sulfasalazine) due to a bad chest until I see the respiratory clinic. After throwing my toys out of my pram - big time- I got an appointment. I am flaring all over (I'm RA seropositive since 2015) and in such pain.

Any tips to reduce bruising from injections?
Hi I’ve recently switched to methotrexate injections and I’m using the
Metoject
pens. I’m finding they bruise quite a bit. I also use the Simponi pens monthly but don’t get as much bruising from these.

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??

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.
