hi gary thanks for support i been on mtx for 8 months now currently on 25mg i have always suffered with side effects but since they put me on max dose side effects have become really bad suffered with mouth ulcers sore eyes sickness and various other nasties but luckly i am back at hosp on 8th dec so hopefully they will do something about it they did say that if the side effects continued they where going to put me on injectable mtx as that way it misses the stomach out so hopefully some of the side effects will subside fingers crossed if only i could cross my fingers too swollen at min. hope you get on ok with mtx and are lucky enough not to suffer with side effects as the improvement it brings is quite good lol shaz

hi shaz im on 20mg mtx not far behind you! i have had all the vile side effects ive been injecting at home for a year now, much better, you have to be trained to do it as its cytotoxic, it is a nightmare having it delivered at home with sharp boxes gloves ect BUT its much better, i dont get the sickness ulcers ect, still feel a bit rough but really cuts down on side effects, good luck hun hope its better for you too xx
