A member asked:
On methotrexate /weekly injections x 3months.in last week, waking up nightly very nauseated. could increased liver enzymes cause nausea?

See below: The nausea and the elevated liver enzymes are probably due to the methotrexate. Your rheumatologist should know about your symptoms.

Maybe: Maybe, but these are not classic symptoms. Methotrexate can impact the stomach lining, and you can feel nauseated due to that. Also, sit down with your doctor and discuss this. Some other drugs you are taking might also be causing this.
