They Give Me Pills for My Pills
So you know the problem. This thing you gave me to cure me has caused x,y, and z. The problem is that their solution is to cover up the side effects with other pills that can have an x,y, and z of their very own. So my doctors have me on AriXtra. This is weight dosed. I've been trying very hard to work out all the time and so I've been losing fat. As I lose fat I get more symptomatic. My doctor doesn't want to switch my meds every time I get symptomatic so she give me scripts for other drugs to mask the symptoms. The AriXtra keeps my blood from clotting. It also makes me nauseated, light headed, gives me headaches, and diarrhea. I know probably TMI. Sorry. But supposedly most of those aren't side effects of the drugs. However, when you fix the dosage they go away so I don't see what else they could be from. So she want me to take 3 other drugs to mask the side effects of the first one. I have found that ginger helps with nausea. Other than pills I don't know what else I can do for them. I'm tempted to stop working out just to put on weight just to lose the side effects.
