Hi people its been another while since my last rant so here goes, go to consultant she says take one more extra metho so i do as im told , up all hours throwing up , go to gp and he says take it on a different day to the other three, out of caution i phone my rheumy nurse she hits the roof and says stop metho doc should not have done that, now waiting and in constant pain taking tramadol to no effect and naproxen, waiting for ultrasound on hands on 16th april then have to get another app to see consultant to see what other drugs they can try me on in the meantime im finding all this really tough, ive even noticed in the morning my neck is so stiff i can barley move it HELP IM SEIZING UP :( Hope all my good friends are ok xxx

    Hey,

    I really hope you're ok and that it gets sorted soon... Hopefully the rheumy can put you on something that won't give you such horrible side effects and help you feel better. Is it possible you can see someone earlier? Sorry if i'm not much help

    Lots of love x

    Oh Soraya, I am so sorry to read this. Meth does not suit everyone, that we do know, but I am wondering if the injected form could be an answer? It bypasses the digestive system and that can make a difference: I know that one or two have been unlucky in that the jabs have not helped the nausea but you never know . . . . . Were you on the tablets long enough for a difference to be seen/felt? I apologise for not remembering, I am not doing too well meself! :) Be of good heart my lovely, I am sure the answer for you is out there, somewhere. DD
