    Yes! Do you take tablets or injections? what’s your dosage? Injections are easier on the digestive system. I got soooo sick on the tablets!

    Yes, absolutely normal! The pills always made me very sick-switched to the injections weekly about 9 months ago. Altho it's much better than the pills, I still find that nausea seems to be an ongoing thing for me. Not enough to ruin my day but annoying-very similar to morning sickness!! Zofran helps if you can get a script from your doctor

    I have been taking oral MTX for extreme eczema.   Lots of nausea so they are switching me to injections.  Hoping no nausea with this.  I will start injections as soon as Med arrive from specialty pharmacy.
