Great that she does not have any nausea (keeping my fingers crossed). I have felt extremely well when I was on MTX for 6 months. D decreased and overall I felt better. However, I used to suffer from horrible nausea and had to take a Zofran injection before the MTX injection. Unfortunately, I was taken off MTX because of stomach flare up. Don't worry. I have suffered from GERD and gastritis for 14 years now and it's quite natural that any med irritates my stomach. So, this should not happen to your daughter. An important thing regarding MTX is that she should take folic acid supplements in order not to suffer from mouth ulcers and as MTX destroys folic acid.
Hope your daughter feels better soon:)
