E decided to try methotrexate injections for her last couple of doses; she wanted to see if she would feel less nauseated, and that seems to be the case for her. She still feels a little dizzy and "off" the next day, but the nausea is better with the injection.
When I picked up the prescription, the pharmacist grabbed me a couple of syringes, and (based on reading here) I asked her if they were insulin syringes. She said yes, but when I got home I saw that they were actually 26G TB test needles. Luckily, my husband had some 30G needles in his first aid kit and we were able to use those. Looking online, I see that insulin needles are available in both 30G and 31G, and with different needle lengths ranging from 1/4" to 1/2". What size and length needle have you all used for methotrexate injections?
