Hi I've just joined here. Nurse has just left after teaching me how to inject myself. I was on tablet form. Can anyone tell me how they get on with the injections and side effects?

    Hi, I have been doing MTX injections for 3 years. Working well, no side effects per say, but do get many other illnesses due to the decreased immune system. WBC are usually always at a minimum so I get things like athletes foot a lot. But all in all in MTX combined with low steroid dosage makes me functional.

      Thankyou for the reply Tim. I'm just worried that I'll have the same awful side effects as I did with the tablets
