A few little pills

methotrexate

It’s just a few little pills, right?

They shouldn’t be too hard to swallow—and yet, as much as I need to take them tomorrow morning and start down a path to getting healthy, I’m hesitant.

Maybe it was the big red warning on the label complete with words like:

* serious side effects
* may cause liver damage
* may cause lung damage
* may cause kidney damage
* may cause a decrease in the number of blood cells made by your bone marrow
* may decrease the activity of your immune system

Other side effects include:

* headache
* hair loss
* blurred vision
...and the list goes on.

Still, it’s the right thing to do. The efficacy rate is high and I sure could use some improvements in my life.

  1. I don’t know your source, but “Queen Alphonse” just e-mailed me and suggested that I forget about prescriptions and get my drugs from her!

    I’ve been on NSAID’s for years, and my beloved VIOXX was taken from me all too soon.  I’d rather live comfortably for a few years than miserably for many.


  2. If my supplier runs dry, you’ll have to hook me up with her number. She sounds like a reputable dealer. wink


  3. Hey Tripp, thanks for the comment on my blog. So far so good with the MTX (as it is apparently known in the “in-crowd"). Much much better than the anti-malarial I took previously that left me bed ridden. Bleeeehhhh. I’d like to hear an update from you, if you’re interested. I like seeing how different people react.

    Werd,
    Mindy
