    It really takes a while to get used to being on methotrexate. I too, had incredible fatigue when I first started and every time my does went up. But now, so many years later, I odon't notice it at all anymore. It takes time, but there probably is no choice. Just know, it will eventually pass, your body will get used to it.

    Hang in there. It is awful--people don't know what we go through

    Take care,

    Hi

    i also had this. I drink ginger tea and that reduces the symptoms of sickness quite a bit.

    I also had sickness and took to injecting MTX instead of swallowing it. Some GPs insist on your going to their nurses to inject, but I had no trouble doing it myself.
