Sorry your good time off mtx has come to an end .I did a similar thing ,& it was great to get away from that yukky sickness feeling.afte They put me on the injections,& I can honestly say you donte feel the needle go in . occationally you get a sensitive spot. The first time you do it is daunting ,but after the apprehension you will be super confidant. It was much more effective 4 me, felt better ,the ist week ,so will keep fingers crossed 4 u. I,am now using methojet? which is good because you donte have to keep it in the fridge & it has a longer shelf life which is great for holls. I am thinking of you ,you must be in awful pain with such a high esr &crp. Get better soon love Rosexx

Hi jean

What a blow for you! I hope you get on well with MTX this time.

Love Lyn

Hi Jean

I think you took an amazingly brave decision to stop and all credit to you. I often wonder what these drugs are actually doing to us all and whether they are achieving anything. Ideally I would like to stop everything and just see, but ...

I am still off the methotrexate despite a letter from the consultant telling me to restart last week. I will when I'm ready, although reluctant! It's so good not to have the 'mtx feeling' and I do actually feel better for not taking it.

I hope the injections are the answer for you and they work well.
Thinking of you
