more medical nonsense
Sep. 27th, 2005 08:26 pmThere are two medications that have given me my life back. ( Read more... )
I feel like such a whining, uncooperative, noncompliant patient. I just had another medication mixup a few weeks ago, when I asked the doctor for a prescription refill, and the office called in the wrong kind of pills. (I need 6 of the 25mg tablets a day. When I take 3 of the 50mg tablets a day, I get really frightful side effects. Does this make sense? Of course not. Inactive ingredients, pfui.) I hate this. It's hard for me to keep track of all this, and it's so important to me. I can understand my doctor or pharmacy or insurance company being unable to keep up with the details of what works or doesn't work. I'm afraid the doctor will stop taking me seriously. I can't tell if it's a rational fear. I don't have the option of throwing up my hands and saying "This doesn't make any sense! I don't want to deal with this anymore."
