welp, just like every place else on the internet, people here can be asshats.  i don't understand the rush to judgment.  i don't understand why people can't be polite and courteous.  i don't...

yup, day fifty.  fifty days that i've been on mtx.  or not - i skipped this week's dose.why?  for multiple reasons.  one is that the swollen leg from a tattoo turned into cellulitis and i'm on a...

second dose of mtx down.  my urine was ridiculously bright this morning... probably all the vitamins but i'll keep an eye on it.  no other symptoms of liver/kidney issues at this time.i'm having...

i think my bad feeling today has just as much to do with my mental state as my physical state.  i had school all day yesterday - 8:30-4:45 - and then we had to go a family 'do at my sis-in-law's...

i'm not sure if it's possible to feel worse after being medicated.  i think i am.  i'm having more joint pain in more joints and am so fatigued it's like ridiculous.  i'm sleeping well through the...
