I have been back on the Mtx for 4 weeks and am now up to the full dose of 20 mg by injection. I have a really sore mouth and eating is painful as is drinking hot drinks. I'll phone the nurse next week......but does anyone have any advice or tips on how to ease it over the weekend?

Hi Naomi,

I find Oraldene mouthwash is very soothing for a sore mouth.

Hi Naomi,
Sorry you have a sore mouth, nothing worse. I'm not sure what this is called but I think there is an adult version of bonjella.
I'm sure your pharmacist souls be able to suggest something.
I hope you find some relief for over the weekend.
Mary

Hi Naomi - sorry to hear about your sore mouth, maybe you've got a slight infection there. When I have a cold/sore throat, I gargle with tepid water and a teaspoon of salt, or if I'm feeling really committed I use TCP - kills bugs DEAD!!!! (But tastes disgusting and so therefore my warped mind thinks it must be doing me good, hee hee)

Hope the MTX is working on sorting the rest of your RA symptoms, especially the fatigue - Sylvia xx
