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.
