A member asked:
Can weekly methotrexate injections cause bad daily nausea & indigestion starting months after tolerating injections well? i'm on 1 mg folic acid/day.

Unlikely: Injectable Methotrexate would be an unlikely cause of the GI problems. See your doc. Are you on any other meds?

See below: That would be unusual that this is occuring this late unless you have recently had your dose of Methotrexate increased. It could be also other things occuring. Discuss with your rheumatologist.
