Hi
I just wondered if anyone felt really sleepy the day after you have your Metoject it seems the only side effect I have thank goodness as there are some pretty nasty ones too

    I think all of us on meth, whether tablet or injected, can get this. I use tablets but can get what I call a meth day the day after. I remember dibdab recently had a good phrase for hers.

    I only ever had oral mtx & even on 30mg I was one of the extremely ones that didn't get any side effects!! I have fatigue from PsA & FM so totally understand how bad it can be :? I hope the fatigue isn't too debilitating for you, Wishing you more wakeful days huni (((( ))))

    I get this frequently with Meth.

    Usually the day after if I could just sleep under my desk in work I would be fine! lol

    i, too suffer from tiredness a couple of days after. I also think the new metoject needles are thicker and harder to go in, I actually drew blood last night and have a massive bruise where I injected!

    Hi Maria,

    I'm always quite tired the day after my MTX injection. I find if I take it at night, I feel less sicky and tired the next day.
