Side effects

Too exhausted to write much lately. The methotrexate has a bad side effect of causing horrible fatigue. Third weekly dose was on Wednesday, by Friday afternoon I was done. Thankfully, I grocery shopped on Thursday. The sofa is my new best friend, I cannot travel far from it. Resting up to go to the bathroom, and having to rest afterward is ridiculous.

Slowing down this disease sounds great. Maybe I can see the view from the sofa longer. Sarcasm intended...

I've lost seven pounds in the past three weeks. That's the great part of this medication. No appetite whatsoever. Forcing myself to eat is horrible. Nothing tastes good anymore, I miss flavors. Worth it to get back in my skinny clothes? Perhaps. I look forward to having that body back. Getting rid of the round face and weight that the steroids put on me will be a relief.

More later, I just used up my reserves typing.
