Anyone That Takes MTX Injection Are You Experiencing Cramping Then Going Into Diarrhea One To Two Days Prior To Next Needle Injection?

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭
Council Bluffs, IA

I was doing just fine when first starting Rasuvo and now that I have been switched over to the syringe using MTX I started to have this diarrhea effect take effect each week before the next needle is needed. Makes no sense to me and I am very confused why this is taking place, is it a side effect?

I'm sending out an email to my rheumatoid specialist on this one also but would like feedback, thank you

It sounds like you're going through a tough time with your methotrexate (MTX) injections. While the context provided doesn't specifically mention experiencing diarrhea before the next injection, it does highlight that gastrointestinal problems such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea are common side effects of methotrexate Show Full Answer

It sounds like you're going through a tough time with your methotrexate (MTX) injections. While the context provided doesn't specifically mention experiencing diarrhea before the next injection, it does highlight that gastrointestinal problems such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea are common side effects of methotrexate, whether taken orally or by injection. These side effects can vary from person to person. It's important to discuss these symptoms with your doctor, as they can help determine whether these reactions are related to your methotrexate injections and advise on the best course of action. Remember, managing side effects is a crucial part of your treatment plan, and there might be strategies or adjustments that can help alleviate these symptoms.

I had my 10th injection of Resuvo today. I get nausea for a couple of days then diarrhea for the rest of the week until I inject again. Nothing makes sense 🤣 Good luck
