Advice & Tips
I am now taking MTX injectable weekly, because of the stomach pain with the pills, but the stomach pain is the same and I haven't had a decrease in symptoms at all. Of course, it's only been 3 days since my first injection. The pills worked great at relieving the joint pain, swelling, stiffness, but I couldn't put up with the stomach issues anymore. I imagine this will take some time, but I just don't want to do it anymore! I want to pretend that I don't have the disease and just take pain medicine..anyone feel that way?
