Methotrexate symptoms. . .
Hi. I had a dose of methotrexate on Thursday afternoon for an ectopic pregnancy, and I'm wondering about others' symptoms from the shot. Starting Friday evening, my entire abdomen has felt like the grounds for bio-chemical warfare. Every step I take I feel my entire abdomen - kind of stingy-achy. I've had horrible gas, and I'm thoroughly exhausted - walking a few blocks makes me want to take a nap. I'm sure it's not a rupture, as it's not the extreme pain I understand I'd feel with that.
I'm assuming this is all normal, but I'd love to hear from others that this is just what the methotrexate does and that it goes away after a few days. I'm hoping to go back to work and start to get the rest of my life back to normal (or at least as normal as possible) sometime soon.
Thanks. B
