Drugs; can’t live with em, can’t live without em
Before I became ill I was a tylenol girl. I wouldn’t take anything but tylenol. For everything. If a doc wanted to prescribe me a pain killer I always turned it down saying “I don’t take anything but tylenol”. Boy those days are long gone…
I now have to take so many different medications to help prevent my body from attacking itself and also for the pain because the prevention drugs aren’t the ‘cure’. I still hurt. Anyways, recently my doc prescribed the fentanyl patch. You put it on and change it every 3 days. It has helped me to some degree. What scared me the most is that I am taking multiple pain meds and I still feel the pain. What if I didn’t have these medications? Could I survive the pain? It scares me to think about it. I got off track…my brother sent me an email about a recall for the fentanyl patch. Here is the link to the story. If you are taking fentanyl, please read this story and check the manufacturer on your prescription.
