Hi Everyone,
I am new to the forum and find it very interesting and useful to read all the posts with various opinions, experiences and information.
I have Crohn's Disease along with seronegative spondyloarthropathy. I have been on Methotrexate 25 mg sub q for 8 months now and have noticed a significant difference in my symptoms of CD and the arthritis, however, I continue to have fatigue and nausea all the time but worse for the 3 days after my injection. I have not left my home on a Sunday in several months due to no energy!
I decreased the MTX to 22.5 mg last week and the plan is to go down to 12.5 mg. However, after my first reduction last week, I noticed a very slight return of arthritis.
My question is, if I reduce the MTX and some mild symptoms return the first week, do they go away again once my body adjusts to the lower dose?
I really want to get the dosage down to reduce the side-effects so I'm hoping that my body adjusts to the new dose, then I can reduce again and get used to that dose, etc. until I am down to the 12.5.
thank you!!
