Methotrexate Injections For Rheumatoid Arthritis (ra)

I have just stated using methotrexate injections for RA after using tablets which gave me mouth ulcers and nausea. Have also used Arava and other RA meds without success . I am also on occasional predisalone as I gain too much weight and am a type 1 diabetic and blood sugars go up considerably. I also take 300mg of plaquenil each day for my arthritis. I would like to know how others are coping with the methotrexate, results and side effects???

We are all different, so Methotrexate works great for some people, but not for all, thus, the only way to see if it will help you is by actually trying it according to your doctor's instructions.

The FDA warns that it may cause side effects, such as dizziness, headache, chills/fever, hair loss, and light sensitivity.

Ref: Methotrexate Information

Have you started taking it, yet?

Can anyone with experience taking this medication chime in?
