I went to the doctor today leaving with a total of 3 prescriptions. Lame, I'm not sure how many I'm going to get filled though. I had been taking some anxiety medication which helped a little mainly with my sleeping problems but I stopped taking it a few weeks ago and only take it on occasion when I cant sleep or have an anxiety attack. I dont want to take any sort of anti-depressant or anxiety medications because they're gay and if they do work they're only masking problems for the most part rather than fixing them.
So one of the things I asked the doc about was my period. I get HORRIBLE cramps EVERY month and it's been that way for so long now. I mean yes cramps hurt but they shouldn't hurt so bad that all you can do is curl in a ball and cry. I've taken midol, vicodin, codiene, and who knows what else but nothing really helps with them. I read an article in the paper not too long ago about endometriosis and how it effects a lot of young girls and it sounded like I could have it. The doctor ruled it out for now and prescribed me mega strength motrin and told me to take it consistantly the week before my period and see if it helps with the cramps. If that doesnt work he wants to put me on birth control which I really dont want to take because a common side effect is weight gain.
I've also been getting really sick in the mornings, like if I try to eat breakfast I either can't get it down or I throw it up. I get dizzy, sometimes shaky e.t.c... so he prescribed me some heartburn type stuff to help with that and he said that if it doesnt work he'll want me to have blood tests to see if I have some sort of blood sugar problem or something like that. Theeeeeen, he prescribed me some special eyedrops for my eyes. And now I'm waiting to get a referral to the dermatoligist to have my skin checked - (I'm a whitey I need to go at least once a year).
Basically the conclusion is that I'm all fucked up lol. Seriously though, I don't like having all sorts of medications to take, although if they're for physical ailments its not as bad. It's just I've had so many health problems for awhile now I'm just doing what I can to rule out things and try to pinpoint exactly what's wrong so it can get better.
In some good news there is a ray of hope in my sister finding her dog. Let's just hope it isn't a dead end because my sister could really use something positive right now.
