Methotrexate

The_Swede

Hi everyone, hope you're all coping well.

I'm coming up to my second anniversary with RA and have a small question to ask.

I take 25mg methotrexate every Saturday night along with humaroz every 2 weeks.

Every Tuesday/wednesday I feel quite ill and I'm back struggling to walk and move my arms.

Is this a common thing that people have experienced.

Thanks and best regards

Paul

Hello @The_Swede

This sounds like something to flag with your care team/GP/nurse specialist? They would want to know if this is a new experience or when it started. I've popped some links below about the medications you mention. I believe that Adalimumab is another name for Hyrimoz , but please check. You could give our helpline a ring. I've also provided the links below.
