Dear readers,
I don’t know about y’all, but I certainly have ‘pill fatigue’. Y’all know those brightly colored things that come in a prescription bottle, those things that kind of remind you of little pieces of candy.
Every day when I have to take mine, I like to imagine that they are brightly colored skittles, y’all know, the tiny candy that comes in all kinds o
of flavors.
If any of you have ever been on a strict pill regimen for anything, then you will be familiar. If not, that’s okay.
When I came back from the emergency room last week, I had two more ‘candy’ pills to add to my collection. The doctor there prescribed oxyxontin (believe it or not) for facial pain, as well as some ketorolac (which is prescribed as an anti-inflammatory for severe pain).
I took this in the hospital as well as morphine. They really pulled out the big guns.
So, unfortunately, I have to add these to my collection of colorful ‘candy’-coated misery that doesn’t work!
Sadly, the doctor at the emergency room was quite rude and didn’t listen. I kept mentioning that strong pain medication as well as anti-inflammatories do nothing for my pain.
I’m thinking, ‘No offense, lady, but I wish I knew what would work.’ Why won’t you listen and suggest something that might?’Why don’t you just stop prescribing useless.pills?’
As some of you might know, when your doctor prescribes a new pill, the side effects can sometimes be worse than the so-called cure
My medicine cabinet is already overflowing! No more useless pills, please 🙏
My psychiatrist is mad at me, too! She keeps wanting me to try new pills 💊 and I keep telling her, “No, thank you, I am already on five!”
So, in conclusion, dear readers, I have pill fatigue.
I don’t want any more to add to my ‘Candy Collection,’ except maybe some Valium (another psychiatric suggestion) because it might possibly relax the muscles in my face and jaw leading to some possible pain relief 😮💨
If y’all don’t really understand, that is cool; I just thought I would throw this out there!
Thanks so much, dear readers and subscribers. Have a wonderful day.
