Whelp..tonight was my first shot on Methotrexate. After a pharmacy debacle and a half (get your shit together Walgreens), I did it.

I hesitated at first, and told my self to stop being a D-bag and just get it over with..so I did...

So next week I'll join the monday night shot club with Dana and Damon...help me remember to take this crap people...otherwise I'll forget..on purpose.

Now lets just sit back and relax and wait for those super sweet side effects.

edit: I guess I forgot to tell you all..whoops. Im the worst blogger EVAR!. Anyway..I was instructed my by rhuematologst to stop taking the 6-mp for my colitis and to try the methotrexate instead. Methotrexate is typically used in RA, or some form of cancers, but were going a bit off the FDA approved path here and are going to try it for my colitis. It can be used to treat crohns, so the theory is that if it works for this, I wont have to have any mayja surgeries.

edit #2: I am using 40/mg once a week. So thats 1.6 cc. I did get 4 viles however I think there might have been a mistake so I'm looking into that today. The cost for the 4 - 50/mg vials was around $25. Which is not covered by my insurance so I guess its good that its pretty cheap. The syringes were about $15 for 12. Then there is the cost of the alcohol swabs which was like $2. So Month to month I figure I'm looking at about $40. Which is not fun, and more expensive than my other prescriptions, but still do able for now.
