Re: looking for your personal experience with MTX

I was on it about 4 months till I started to feel better, however it was not

working as well as my Rhu thought is should so he added Embrel injections

once a week. That has really helped.

I have been on MTX since April of 2006. I did not notice that it was

helping me at all until I got an infection about 6 after starting. I

had to off of it while I had the infection. The pain laid me out. I

was pretty much flat on my back. My hands looked like balloons.

I had a very bad time with the oral MTX, so I changed to injectable.

What a difference! I recommend the injectable to everyone, no stomach

problems at all!

Hope this helps you out.
