I Was wondering if anyone Taking Methotrexate Injection had any throat/vocal issues?
Since I took it the past 2 weeks my voice is fading like I have laryngitis w/out any fever or swelling...
frankly talking is a pain..
The more I talk the more I'm straining my vocal cords! UGH... Common symptoms I do have is fatigue, nausea, & vomiting..
But this one is bizarre...if anyone does deal w/ this how long before things settled down/back to normal??

Thanks!

That's not one of the side effects I remember reading when I started MTX. Maybe call your doc.

Does your Doc have you taking a Folic Acid supplement? MTX is an anti-folate, it wouldn't hurt to take a 1mg supplement daily. The Folic Acid can help somewhat with the nausea.
