He squeezed my finger joints and moved my arms around and I didn't even
yell. I think I desrve a lollypop.

He wants me to increase the MTX to eight little pills each week and to
take them in three groups of three, two, and three over 24 hours. We
shall see if that works. Apparently the stuff is working. His only
suggestion for drowsiness brought on by MTX is Maxwell House.

Oh yes,,,,, and it sounds like a plan to me. I hope you have a blood test
atleast once a month when Methx. is increased. I could take 20mg but
could take no higher due to a rise in liver enzymes in my blood test.
Now,,, that me and lots of people around here took way more than that
without a problem.

what's your favorite flavor of lollipop? Here's one for you.......

actually, the doctor's is the one place where I will yell - I figure they
need to know the pain level, heehee. And I've had a couple of docs along the
way who didn't believe you were in pain if you were stoic.

My mtx drowsiness got better over time as I finally stayed at one dose for
months and months. Hopefully yours will too.
