Hi everyone
am so pleased as specialist agreed to reduce my methotrexate. as I said in other post, had horrid side effects and wanted advice. also I spoke honestly to specialist and he said I could not carry on feeling like I did, so agreed to reduce me to 15mls a week. Did my injection yesterday and feel so much better. Little bit of nausa but once I take anti sick tablet, this soon goes. Am able to eat properly and dont feel so wishy washy!!!!! He has also agreed to give me slow releasing Tramadol, so if I feel a bad night coming on, I can take one and hopefully sleep!!!
was worried about talking to specialist, as sometimes they dont seem to listen, but saw main chap this time and he was brill!!
have a good xmas and new year
