Had my second dose this weekend. Pain was more localized after meds targeting those joints that have degenerative arthritis. Little queasy the next morning but resolved itself with a couple of crackers. Fatigue not quite as bad. Right shoulder the worst.

I was on methotrexate for 5 years. The nausea goes away but until it does, take Ginger ale with real ginger and peppermint tea with real Peppermint (not just flavoring ). Amazon has several great choices. They also have ginger team if that appeals to you more than ginger ale.

3rd dose day. Took MTX last night. This morning was not quite as bad as the last 2 Sundays. Shoulder pain while still rhe worst, not quite as bad. Hip pain not bad at all. Knees and right hand achy. A bit of head ache and nausea that subsided pretty quickly but still wiped out. I'm considering a cortisone shot for right shoulder. Has anyone gone this route?
