Look ma, no side effects!
I was bracing for impact last Saturday, expecting the side effects of methotrexate to incapacitate me for some twenty four hours. But nothing happened, thank God. I felt the same as any other day - achy in the elbows, springy everywhere else. It was fine. I did feel a little sleepier than normal, but that feeling went away around lunchtime.
Feeling fine and dandy, I was able to attend Rap's condo blessing. Some Health Sci friends were there and it was nice being with them again.
(Oh, he's still looking for one more roommate. His condo in the Ortigas area, near Robinson's Galleria. Rent is 8k a month, with a lot of awesome freebies that come with the deal! Let me know if you're interested!)
Afterwards, Rap's mom took us to Greenhills. Jeth needed to get his phone back, and I needed to go buy some extra strong Vitamin D3 capsules, as prescribed by my doctor. So Tita Tet took us to this store in V-Mall that sold imported goods, and when I found what I needed, she was able to haggle the price from 1,200 pesos to only 800! Man, I'm so thankful. This is what I bought:
Yes, I have a Vitamin D deficiency. My dad says it's probably because I'm indoors too often, but I think I get out plenty. He said I should expose myself more to the sun. I feel like a plant.
. . .
Yesterday, I went in for my skin test reading. Rap was with me again. We took a jeep from Robinsons Galleria to Medical City for the first time, and now we know how to commute to ASMPH.
At Medical City, the doctor just made some pen marks around the small circle in my skin, measured it with a ruler, and then wiped it off. (After all the effort I put into keeping it on me!) They didn't charge me for the reading anymore. Phew.
Then we walked to a Family Mart nearby to get some ice cream, and along the way we found some sort of racing event. Well, it wasn't exactly racing. Basta. A road was closed off and people were riding all sorts of wheeled vehicles on it. There were bikes, skateboards, scooters, pedicabs, and this thing.
We rented two and pedalled like the wind.

You really do need to expose yourself to the early morning sun. People who are afraid of a little sunlight are sissies!
