Re: help with methotrexate

[Guest guest]

Are you sure that you are not pregnant? If that is not an option..I would

be its the MTX. It gave me terrible nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Over time

it got progressive worst and never better.

Are you on folic acid? If so you may need to increase the folic acid with

your doctors advice on that one.

I was on 5mg folic acid a day plus leukovorin once weekly on the day of my

MTX dosage. Nothing helped for me. Finally came off MTX...side effects were

not worth the little bit of benefits I got from the drug.

Subject: help with methotrexate

I have recently become naseauted on a daily basis (3 weeks now), but

my rheumatologist does not think it is related to my methotrexate. I

am also in the mist of a flare up, does nausea accompany this or is my

doctor crazy? Very confused. Any help / advice would be greatly

appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi Tonya,

I do get nausea from my methotrexate but only the evening of injection

and next day.

Nobody knows your body like you do and if you feel your questions are

unanswered,

keep asking.

How long have you been on methotrexate, as it do take a while for your

body to get

use to it.

Thanks so much for answering, I am currently looking

for a new doctor that will better listen to me. A

month of nausea is too much (defintely not pregnant).

Just a FYI - I switched to the injectable to see if

nausea gets better and it took me 2 weeks to find it

in town. Defintely worried about obtaining more now.

Thanks to all.
