Need Advice | Arthritis Information
I want to change the day I take my MTX, I take it on Sat nite but want to start taking on Wed, do I start this Wed or do I take the following Wed? Thanks for any input. If you took it this Saturday; I'd just skip the next Saturday dose and take it on Wednesay the next week. If you start to get super stiff my Monday go ahead and take it on Monday that next week and move it to Wed. the following week. If you can't really tell that you missed your dose just wait until Wednesday.
I wouldn't take it on Wed. this week though if you just took it Saturday. You'd likely get a lot more than you're use to and you wouldn't feel very good for days.
Why the switch?
My rheumie had me move it by a day until I was on the desired day of the week I wanted. So to his recommendation, take it Sunday next week, the following week Monday, etc. until you get to Wednesday.
Everyone's level of RA activity is different so you may be able to do it sooner. I'd call your doctor and see what he/she suggests for you.
Lovie, I want to switch cause I'm tired of messing with my weekend! I'm also off Thur, I haven't had one drop of Alcohol since last Aug. summer is here and I want to enjoy!! I probably won't even like it anymore from what I read others go tru. Thanks again everyone for advice.
