I gave myself my first shot of MTX a little while ago. I followed all of your advice about the carbs and water and Crunchy's perfect instructions on how to inject yourself and I didn't feel a thing! Getting up the nerve to do it was worse than actually doing it. I'm hoping I'm one of the lucky ones who react well to it. I'm off work tomorrow and plan on having a "me" day. I can't remember the last time I've done that.
I just want to thank all of you for your advice and caring. People just don't understand how we feel, and this is one of the only places on the internet that I don't get depressed visiting. I think I was in denial about my RA, but now I'm just pissed that I have it and I'm going to fight it for all its worth.
Thanks again. You guys are the best!
Yay, Nina!! I'm glad it went well. Enjoy your "ME" day tomorrow!!Sometimes you have to mourn and then put away the tears and get ready to kick some butt. :) You did it! That is a big step. All journeys begin with the first step, and you did it!
