Oh dear, poor you, I am sorry to read that you are finding it tough going. Meth can be a tough drug to get on with, so splitting the dose may well be a good idea - as is taking it at bedtime so that hopefully you can sleep through the worst of it. Do you take it with food? That can also help to minimise the nausea but if that doesn't ease then I am sure your GP will help with an ant-emetic. Give it (and yourself) time to adjust Soraya and I hope you soon start to feel the benefit rather than just the nastiness. DD

Thanks DD always can depend on you for a positive reply, have been taking meth on a sunday 4 at a time and it was getting me up in the middle of the night to vomit so as you can imagine wasnt sleeping very well, so now got to take 2 on a sunday and then 2 on a thursday see how it goes, i hope your feeling ok DD and everything is well luv n hugs x

Now that, my sweet, sounds much more sensible. Are you also taking Folic Acid? If so, how much and when? As for me, well, things ain't good but then they rarely are so it doesn't matter. DD

soraya

Yes DD take one folic acid on monday asked doc if that was enough he said it was fine ( and i must say hes an absolute diamond my doc). As for you my sweet i get alot of days when i wake up and ask if its really all worth it, but then i hear the birds singing and just sometimes being on here and reading the storys makes you feel sometimes like a fraud when deep down you know your not, lift your spirits DD it does matter how you feel cos i and many others care about you and your invaluable words of comfort when we feel low, so we rightly return it because we care big hugs DD smile then gigle but for god sake dont wiggle lol xxx

What kind words, Soraya, thank you so much - I really appreciate them. We are seeing some good friends tonight so I shall do my best to giggle AND wiggle! Right, you take FA on a Monday, see how splitting the dose goes and if it doesn't go too smoothly then perhaps ask your GP about taking another dose on the Friday. My rheumatologist has written to me to tell me to increase mine, so I shall (even though I don't feel the need!) Take care. DD

DD you gigle and wiggle and enjoy yourself you deserve it have a good time xx

Hi,

I had trouble with sickness and methotrexate. Saw my GP and she increased my folic acid to be taken every day EXCEPT methotrexate day. After doing that, had no more sickness and am now up to 8 methotrexate tablets each week - all taken on the same day. Not sure if thats got anything to do with increasing the folic acid to six times a week or not.

Hope your sickness wears off soon
