I noticed a great diffeence when they added 5mgs of folic acid (Vitamin A, I think) to my meds. If they don't have you on it make sure you get on it, It really helped with the side effects. Also I find Perrier water, ginger ale, or ginger tea works well for the nausea. Elaine, My doc immediately started me on 1 mg. daily of Folic Acid along with the MTX. Question: Do you also take your folic acid on the day that you take the MTX? I can't even imagine being on 25 mgs. of MTX! After the experience I had with the first dose, you have my undying admiration. Thanks for the reminder about the Perrier water. I don't like the taste, but I will get some....along with ginger ale and ginger tea. I've already stocked up on popsicles, as recommended. Love, Quote
