Starting MTX

[Fred]

Great stuff to hear it's working.

Here we can take them to any pharmacie and they give you a new bin. As for getting used to the sharps bin I the house I keep mine on top of the tall fridge behind other stuff. Maybe you could knit one of those Loo Roll covers.

Mine is on top of the units around the fridge. OK it is a bit of a faff to get to but once a week its not an issue.

Just feels weird having needles in the house.

Glad to hear you are getting good results!

Glad to see that its working okay , some people have a low opinion of MTX which is ridiculous as it can work very well without any problems at all. Injections in the stomach done properly is even easier than elsewhere, by the way where I live the council will collect your sharps bin no trouble. All the best Dave

Thanks for that Dave, I will ask at my local chemist what the best thing to do is, they are actually quite helpful! It was the hospital that declined to take a full one!

To be precise I can get my MTX at two different pharmacies! Both of which are hospital pharmacies, don't ask why I can't get it from my local chemist I keep forgetting to ask.

I had an appoinment for something else and my first sharps bin was full so I took it to the hospital and they just said no at the pharmacy as I didn't get it there and offered no advice.

No I didn't throw it over a fence on the way home before anyone asks!
