Hello everyone, my Mom (78) has been taking Metoject injections for 10 months. Schedule is: MTX on Thursday, folic acid pills on Friday, and every Saturday she has huge nausea outbursts and/or fever (38 Celzius) and awful lower back pain. The pattern has been going on for the the last 3 months. How can I help her, please, the pain is unbearable...
Dear Carolyn, thank you so much! Wishing you all the best and sending hugs, Lia
I hope the next med helps. One thing I know is we have to give it a good try, but it doesn't mean we should feel sick when taking it. Let us know how it goes.
Tiena thank you so much! I've asked the doctor to change the medicine - that was 2 weeks ago and still waiting for reply.
I couldn't tolerate Methotrexate. It was awful for me. Not all of us can take the same medicine. Have you talked to her doctor about this? There are other alternatives.
