Injectable Methotrexate

[Guest guest]

I've been diagnoised since the fall of 2003, try to read all the

posts but I don't post very often. When diagnoised with RA, I was

also diagnoised eventually with collegeous colitis and an auto

immune thryoid disease. I inject Hunira weekly and I now take

Methotrexate orally, but orginally I used it injectable. I know

there have been discussions about how hard it is to get the

injectable and there have been some suggestions about where to get

the injectable now. I went to my Rhemey last week and got a

prescription for the injectable, tried the archives and all I found

was CVS in some other states. I called CVS's in my area, Northern

Virgina, andria, and was told they don't have it, can't get it,

and have never carried injectable Methotrexate. I realize this is

redonate, but could anyone who is buying injectable Methotrexate let

me know where your buying it. The oral really makes me sick, but it

really helps with my RA. Catch 22 with the oral Methotrexate.

Tess, I sure hope you are doing better. I was sad to hear you were

having pain again. I have been on Hunira the same amount of time you

have been so I relate to you and love your compassion and sense of

humor. Tawney, good to see you back posting. I think you give so

much support to members of this group! Welcome to all the new

members, sorry you're here, but you have come to a GREAT web site.

Whether you post or not, so much information is here daily and there

is compassion and a place to whione, cry and vent all of your

feelings.

Hi Colleen,

Its so nice to see you posting. I take the oral MTX, so far my system

is tolerating it, and along with the Plaquenil its helping me. I hope

someone can help you find where to get the MTX injections, this is so

bad there is a shortage. Thanks so much for the kind words. It helps

me to help others, or to try to make them feel a little better. You

take care of yourself, Tawny
