you miss understand i been taking mtx for last 8 months various dosage but the max 25mg makes me so ill sickness headache etc i asked them to reduce it but they say i need this dosage but injectable missess your stomach so hopefully the sickness will be less that is what i mean as for injecting myself with poision i wouldnt like to think how bad i would be without mtx but then everybody is entitled to there opinion if yours is that mtx is a bad thing then that is entirely upto you i have seen improvement in myself its just the side effects that are bad

Shaz Hi there sweetie..... ignore that twit that sent that ignorant posting.... its probably that past member that caused hell in here..... just ignore any postings that r offensive and begging ppl to visit a site to take vitamin pills etc.... hes a nerd!!!! leave him to me, il sort the Nutter out..... trust me.... anyway, still think ya dose is high....do u have a lot of joint damage shaz for them to warrant giving u such a high dose? in the past, b4 i took enbrel, I wanted to go higher, but rhummy said NO, and eventually i got put on the Biologic therapy..... if they think U need such a high dose, y cant they give u the Enbrel that most of us take along with a lesser dose of MTX, like me...... works better...like I said to u b4, I could NOT stomach 25mg, dont understand Y they give U so much....compared to us that r on MTX, u r on the highest dose....
I know in the USA they give out that high dose... anyway take care ok xx
