Upped dosage & feelin' it. WOW! Fog, ain't it great? Promptly got a bloody nose and zonin' to infinity and beyond. Who needs marijane?! My favorite thing is the muscle pain all around my injection site. Feels like I did a hundred sit ups w/ out the pay off. The silencers have subsided, thank God. Really. Thinkin' bout jumpin' in pool, just to wake up. No, that would take too much energy. K, that's all. Hope everyone is doing hunky dory this glorious Monday.

Wow...that sounds pretty brutal.  I must be lucky, my meds don't effect me in any negative way.  Guess I should try to be for thankful for that.  Hope you feel better.  If you go in the pool, wear floaties in case you doze off.How much MTX are you taking????

I think you should call your doc about it. I would be alittle concerned and I rarely get concerned.

I've been taking MTX orally at 20mg for over a year and often feel fuzzy.

Am presently on .5cc every Wednesday.  What I'm wondering about when you said about the "fog" is if you have fibromyalgia.  With that  it is called "fibro-fog."  I was diagnosed with fibro in '92, about three years after starting on the MTX.  One other thing is that I often get severe dizzy spells with the MTX.  How long have you been on the MTX shots as well as pills?  mcgundich39294.6014351852Good nite's rest and taking it slow the first day is key, apparantly. Muscles feel better, fog is gone too. Overall, I feel pretty good. Best bounce back yet. I've already been outside painting, gardening and such. Thanx for the input guys. All these new medicines and hormones too,.... Are you injecting into the muscle or are you injecting sub-q? 

I have a fuzzy day the day after I do my mtx.  It just a take it easy day for me.  I would be worried about the muscle pain tho. 

Inject in the belly, so it's gotta be fat
