Since I’m clearly having difficulty forming a post with actual points and paragraphs and whatnot, I thought I’d go ahead and post my new med schedule! My life sort of revolves around medication and food (i.e. whether medication should be taken with or without) which is nice in the sense that everything is very regimented. But on the other hand, everything is very…regimented.
6AM: wake up, 500mg cellc.ept, 20mg las.ix, 5mg BP#1
7AM: fruit/yogurt, 5mg BP#2
8AM: breakfast, 15mg pred.nisone
10AM: 500mg cellc.ept
11AM: lunch, 5mg BP#2, MWF sep.tra & other days iron pill
2PM: 500mg cellc.ept
Bedtime: 1000mg cellc.ept
It’s actually pretty easy to follow the schedule during the work week because I wake up at a set time and so all my meds are taken on time. Weekends are tougher since I could theoretically wake up anytime and mealtimes have to be much more flexible to accomodate weekend plans.
I’m getting pretty sick of it…though I guess I can’t complain too much since they are doing their job. But I did buy a groupon for acupuncture (is that ghetto?), because I was already reaching a breaking point with how I feel about the meds and that was before I recently became the proud owner of this (which by the way is very handy, I love, and I definitely recommend if you have eight zillion pills to take a day).
Anyway, that’s all I got for now. Maybe next time I’ll tell you about the super cute paramedic that came to the condo that time I had a panic attack and thought it was a heart attack.
