Methotrexate 20 Mg By Pill Was Killing Me With Side

Methotrexate 20 mg by pill was killing me with side effects.It felt like my lower intestines were being twisted.Three weeks ago I happened to eat a ton of cashews the day before and day of my pills.ZERO side effects.And I mean ZERO.The following week I did the same thing thinking there was a link.SAME THING.It was awesome.The RA was'nt any better or worseThen my doctor switched me to injections starting at 15 mg for two weeks,which I have done, then 17.5 for one and then back to 20 mg that I can inject at home.The cashews made no difference.I was sick in 3 hours after injections.Think the pills with cashews are worth trying again?Ingested orally I had two weeks of absolute holiday time.Not science but I have no explanation.Before the cashews I ve been sick every week from the pills.Really sick.It didn't happen by chance.Any thoughts anyone?
