Today was my 4th week (dose) of Methotrexate. I was feeling glad that in a few weeks I might start seeing a difference. The pain has been managable but I have not been sleeping that great and my fingers are doing weird stuff mostly at night. My middle finger goes in a flexed postion as soon as I am resting it. Like a claw. The tendons get tight and it is painful to staighten it. It usually takes several hours to straighten out. I notice this also starting in my left hand and my thumbs are catching like what I have read about trigger finger. I noticed my first dose (4 pills) of Methotrexate made me not feel like eating. I was not sick it just took my appetite away. I thought that was a good thing since I am over weight and want this weight off. Then I notice that I seemed to be getting my appetite back. Today when I was filling my three pill cases up and writting a list of prescription I need to refile next week, I noticed I had more Methrotrexate left in my bottle. When I counted them I discovered for the last two weeks I have not taken 4 pills. I only took one each week. How could I be so stupid and then do it two weeks in a row. I am sure it is just like starting at week one again. What am I going to tell my doctor next Friday when I see him? The thing is I take 2 percriptions for blood pressure (one twice a day the other once a day, tummy pills once a day, Lovastatin for lowering cholesterol at night, folic acid, Actonel for my bones once a week, and my vitamins and calcium. I never forget my pills. I just really messed up.
