Hey all...checking in on my fellow recoveree's !!!!!..... how's everyone doing? Home yesterday...it ended up being a bit rough.... between walking, standing, delay in analgesia by the time they were collected from my pharmacy.....pain ratcheted up to 9 and you all know it's hard to get it down...only managed one set of exercises yesterday......anyone else on methotrexate here?? And if so what anti embolitic are you on? I was prescribed aspirin which is contraindicated...long palavor to sort it out.....the Dr suggested stopping my methotrexate for 6 weeks and taking aspirin!!!!! Sure we all know that could cause a major flare up.....sorted now....eventually....poor sleep last night....only given sleeper for 2 nights!!!! GP will give me a few more....just a week.....I'll have to manage!! Today I'm terribly nauseated....back in bed resting with ice on now......after just managing my exercises.....it's nice to be home....lots of support from friends....reminds me though of Chico saying about managing at home easier with paid help!!! Lol....luckily I have great and supportive friends 😁......how is everyone else getting On??? In advance I apologise for typos.....it's the drugs!!!!!!!

      I am day 8.

      Is it the pain meds causing the nausea? Have you spoken to doctor about it, maybe they can give you something different?
