Guest guest Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Hi everyone. Just one quick question---I was on 17.5 mg mtx by mouth and it was not working. My doc has just switched me to mtx injections, same dosage thinking that my body wasn't absorbing the pills. Has anyone else been in this position? And, if so, did the injections work? How long did it take for injections to kick in? Thanks a bunch. diana louisiana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 : I was on the same dose of MTX pills that you were. I was switched to injections and will take my 4th one tomorrow. I had been in the middle of a terrible flare, and it seems to have eased up the past few days. I know that it can take months for MTX to work, but hang in there....it works well for some. All the best... --- In , " dianaenxing " <dianaenxing@y...> wrote: > Hi everyone. Just one quick question---I was on 17.5 mg mtx by mouth > and it was not working.
