Methotrexate Treatments

[D Foster]

Hi Jerry, I took MTX for 9 years , 6 years at 25mg by mouth and 3 years at 20mg by self injection ,when I first started taking it I took folic acid every day apart from the MTX day but when I went onto the injections then I only took folic for 1 day a week. MTX never completely cleared me but tiredness was one of the side effects with sickness etc. being some of the others. The sickness etc. was much better when I went onto the injections but of course it does knock your resistance down so I found that it did not take much to upset me at all.
MTX can be a very good treatment and I did reasonably well for 9 years considering where I started from.
