Hi Pingu
First of all......I'll just get this out of the way......your name is rather unfortunate.
If you knew how many hours I had to spend with a sleepless toddler being forced to watch an irritating penguin (and wanting to BBQ him) you would understand why it's not my favourite name.
Anyway, I'm following your progress with interest.
I was placed on MTX a few months ago after 4 years of being on Cyclosporine.
I did develop some nausea as the dose went up (amongst other things) but that's not to say it will affect you the same way.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to take my dose this week as something has spiked on my blood report and they want to do more tests. I managed to get up to 17.5mg before this latest drama.
I started to make a jug full of fresh squeezed lemon juice and ginger steeped in hot water and sipped it throughout the day. It did help with the slight yukky feeling.
Oh and
