Starting MTX

[jiml]

Well I have yet another blood test tomorrow as my bloods are a little all over the place at present.

Currently awaiting a call to go and get shown how to stab myself in the thigh and stomach inject myself which I am not looking forward to and then I will be put on Metoject, should happen in the next 2-3 weeks.

Really not looking forward to it as having to inject myself fills me with dread and doing it every week! Just have some serious reservations.

I guess if I can't work with it we need to find something else but my consultant seems convinced this will help stailise and get rid of that little bit of psoriasis that has returned on elbows.

It is daunting I agree and I haven't had to do that to myself with any of my treatments yet, if you struggle with it could Mrs Pingu ( if there is a Mrs Pingu) help you with it.... I'm really squeamish ....or I used to be until my wife started home dialysis, and I can now happily stick needles in her arm, when needed, something I never thought I would do....as a young man I used to pass out having a blood test ....it's amazing what you can do when you have to.
Good luck I'm sure you will be fine
