So, I woke up today with the delectable taste of vomit in my mouth…mmmm! 😱😱 These stupid bleeping pills!!!!  I am so done with them. I have been unable to get rid of the taste all day!! I feel like there’s a lump in the back of my throat that is just holding back the puke…yuck yuck yuck…I am continuing to decrease the dose of these darn pills on my own, & hopefully when I see my doctor next week she will be able to speed up the rate that I am able to stop taking them!!  Last week, since I couldn’t get in with my regular doc, I made an appointment with one of the docs in town.  She gave me super-duper tummy pills, that are supposed to help with the nausea. Here’s the stupid thing, the original pills (the ones I’m decreasing) actually seemed to be helping with my headaches & to some extent, the Trigeminal Neuralgia pain as well. But these pills might as well be called “stomach flu in a bottle”!! At least that would be an apt description for how I feel when I take them!! So, with these strong tummy pills this doc gave me (I’m only supposed to use them for short-term – they are the ones given to patients with nausea from chemo), the biggest side effect is…you guessed it, headaches!!!  Of course!! Because there can’t possibly be a medication out there that actually works for me and has no, or very minor, side effects. I’m pretty sure that would be too much to ask. I mean, if I didn’t have to deal with the side effects from the majority of the meds I take, I would be on so so much less medication then I currently am!!  (That was a muddled sentence – shocking, I know!!!)

And, okay, now I’m having the sense that I may have already written about this last week.  Hmmmm… I wish I could remember!! Ironically, due to another fun side effect, my mind & memory is mush!!!  I’d look back to see, but if I did I’d have to come up with something else to write about. And…since I’m lying in bed with a puke bowl beside me, I really don’t want to end up needing to start writing all over!

Now I’m feeling obligated to look back… I’ll check tomorrow. I apologize in advance if I have just repeated myself from last week.

Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!
