MTX Support

Are you all ready for this?😂You may remember I posted 7 days ago about non delivery of injections, well arranging delivery I should say😉 On 26th May I left a message with my dermatology nurse to say Alcura haven't had a prescription from the hospital for my meds. Nurse on leave till 2nd June. Had

I call it my online support group. Ok This is my fifth week on MTX and last week was not so bad. I thought i was getting better. But this week it hits me like a mack truck. I take it on Saturday evenings before bed.

Thank you to those who responded to my post recently and helped me come to terms with taking MTX - I really appreciate your support.

Hope you are all ok and thankyou for all your help and support regarding taking Mtx. xx

Hello Can I just say thanks to everyone that replied to my first blog, the support was amazing!

So all wish me luck ( Iam hoping my blood test results will support me being able to go onto mtx, last one was ok, hopefully nothing changed to much this time). Oh - how long on average will the steroid injection relief last???

(via google).so i decided to investigate sjogrens further and its come to light that ive many symptoms i.e my eyes feel inflamed everyday,ive a blocked saliva gland,oral problems and aches and pains,even though my rheum consultant told me MTX was working.please can anybody relate to this as ive no support

And I have started to take Vit B complex to support folic acid, prescribed for MTX support, and because they help my fatigue (I think!) What do others take and have you noticed any real benefits? Sunshine always helps enormously, but I am in the north of England and its winter!!!

Hi Just wanted to say a big thank you for all the support in regards to the mtx injection. This wk I did it myself, in my tummy and I did not feel a thing. The nurse praised me, I was so chuffed. Also I have had nothing like the extreme fatigue I got last wk, so I am pleased about that.

She did say the mtx could go up, etc, and at my last appointment when I was in so much pain, it was oh the illness will stablise, don't worry. If I have another professional say that to me at the moment, i will kick them.
