Ding!
Words Borys never thought she’d have directed at her!
OMG. I’ve know I’ve been rather vacant lately… forgetful, quiet, moody and very irritable. And this is mostly (but not entirely) due to the side effects of some of the pain/sedative medications they’ve been giving me. Ever looking for the silver lining – I’ve been very amused to read my own LJ as I can’t hardly remember half of what I’ve been dribbling on about. Downside though… very drowsy in the mornings, rarely making sense until well in to the afternoon and I’ve been seeing movie, watching shows, talking to people, doing things and the completely forgetting all about it within a day or so! :S not good. Anyway, the powers that be (read random quack number 36) sent to see another specialist to address the veritable plethora of medication I am on with a view to seeing if we could pare down some of the drugs. The recommendation was to dump two of the pills I’ve been taking, but to take this other stuff instead…. and he actually said to me:
“Here, take this mild anti-psychotic medication – it’s usually prescribed for schizophrenia patients, but in your case we’ll just start you off on a small dose and see if it has any benefits in altering your perception of pain.”
