MTX.... 4/5 weeks in

[jiml]

Hello just a quick update. I've been on MTX now for about 4/5 weeks and at first I noticed my skin was clearer but now looks very red and noticeable. As for the pain for Psa it's no different but I know it's only early days still. I get very sleepy the day after taking MTX and I'm still taking my folic acid 4 days after. I am still going for fortnightly blood tests which they struggle getting blood out of me (I don't like to part with anything lol) I have got a rheumy appointment at the end of November so hopefully they may up my dose and change my bloods to every 4 weeks.

Hi I used to be on MTX but gave it up in favour of fumaderm, I found theMTX made me feel unwell the day after taking it and although it worked well. I could not put up with feeling unwell and had a problem swallowing 10 little tablets at once, so I opted for my current treatment which although at the start had some side effects, they seem to have gone now and I feel "normal" most of the time.
I wish you luck with your treatment and hope you tolerate it better than me.
Good luck in the future
