I am not sure how another chronically sick people deal with it, but I feel horribly when I need to start taking new medication. Sometimes I feel like testing rabbit. But you have to deal with it. Doctors cannot know how it will react in your case. Sometimes they even do not know what is the actual problem, which makes it really hard to find the correct medication which would help you. And even they know, there is still a problem how you will react on the new drug. That cannot be predict so far.
Anyway, when I am about to start new drug, I have to go through the fear whether I will be sick, sleepy, dizzy, having headaches, cramps, stomach problems. I do not read side effects first because this type of medication has typically huge list. And I do not want to know it.
Many time I got a question whether it is really necessary to eat all of them, I have to answer yes. If you have broken leg, you get cast. Probably, you will also take painkillers. If you have headache, or backpain, you most probably take also painkiller. If you are sick and you need antibiotics, you take them. So, why people are asking me whether I need all those pills. Prednisone helps me to reduce pain in longer term, oxiklorin is reducing my imunne system to overact, that it doesn't kill me. Trexan treats the autoimunne disease, for that I need some substitute. I have strong painkiller in case of severe pain. For example I would stop eating such drugs, Raynaud's syndrome would appear again which can lead to loosing of my fingers. Sleeping pills, or medication to treat my anxiety. If you do not experience it, do not judge. I am responsible to myself and to my kids. I know what I have to do.
Thank you!!
