How soon did you give up on methotrexate?

Options

I have a history of gastritis and started mtx last week on the lowest dose. Also 5mg daily folic acid for 6 days. I was already on hydroychloroquine and sulphasalazine.

I have constant nausea and my stomach is burning, also massive fatigue.

They are going to switch me to injections but I don't feel optimistic.

Has anyone seen fewer side effects with inject methotrexate?

My RA is very intermittant. I'm fine between flares but have been having extremely painfu; flares in different joints.

I'm thinking that without MTX at least I feel good some of the time.

    Afternoon @Skap

    Regards to MTX I started like you on tablets then pen injections. Pain relief excellent but like you stomach not so good had blood test results and they showed problems with liver so I had to come off them.

    Have you spoken to your consultant or doctor ??

    I am now on Yuflyma new bio med so fingers crossed.

    Hope you get some answers soon.

    Best wishes @Naomi33
