Just in case anyone was wondering. I went for more blood work today and it was 68. I had a MTX shot last week and it was 141 the day of the shot then two days later it was 109 (I think??? I need to write this stuff down. hee hee) and now 7 days later it's 68. The nurse said it should be down to zero by next week. I don't know why it would be but that is what she said.

I really want to hear catiemay's numbers. Have you heard yet???

Best wishes to everyone, just wanted to post so anyone going through this now or in the future can relate.

I forget what the half life is for MTX...but hopefully the nurse is correct.

How are you feeling. I hope you are taking it easy. I know that the MTX can be very hard on your body.

Thank you guys. You know the funny thing is I haven't felt weird at all. I have never had any cramping and hardly any spotting even. I was nausous the first 2 days on and off but other than that I would have never known I had a shot. I could have sworn it wasn't working. I'm so glad it is.

That is great news. I never had cramping or spotting, but I had horrendous other side effects. They do say normally that there are little or no side effects...unfortunately I wasn't one of the normal ones. What a suprise.

I'll be praying your numbers are 0 by next week and please keep us updated.
