Bad reaction to methotrexate

Awaiting results from a CBC and urinalysis. Severe Abdominal pain hit before I left for the doctor's office. Running a fever. Fell asleep in the waiting room and on the examination table.

Gotta love a bad reaction to a drug I was pressured to take in the first place. I had excellent reasons and still do for not taking it. No, my objections were not enough to sway "those who knew best". I caved in and took it to get people off my back. Now what?

I really have no one to blame. Just me. In order to keep the peace I did take the methotrexate. It was the wrong drug for me. I knew it as soon as I began researching it. I know how my body reacts to almost every drug. Badly, very badly. Completely my fault for not standing my ground. 

Now I have to live with the consequences of that decision. Once the test results are in, I will know just how bad it is. In the meantime there is pain, fever, total and complete exhaustion, and let us not forget the hair loss.

Enough for now, I'm totally and completely wiped out.....
