So the saga of something's-fucked-up-but-we-can't-figure-out-why continues. Oh, what fun.
Anyway, my doctors decided to put me on some medication to balance things out. It won't fix the problem, since there technically isn't one, but it is supposed to balance out my hormones. Or something.
I take pills now, which is interesting. I am now on medication. Now I really feel like an adult.
I've known for a while now that my doctors were eventually going to prescribe me some kind of pills, so I was setting myself up for that (which was slightly nerve wracking as I really can't/don't/whatever swallow pills). But then I get the pills and it turns out that I can just chew them. They taste awful, but fuck it I'll take them.
My mom and I went to pick them up at the drugstore and we were talking with the pharmacist about them for a bit. The side effects to this pill seem fairly mild: chance of headaches, nausea and (rare) vomiting and some boob related things (whoo /sarcasm). It also lowers potassium levels, causes dry mouth (apparently), and it's a diuretic so it's supposed to increase my urine output (which is a polite way of saying that's it's gonna make me pee more often).
I've only been on them for a day or two, so there really isn't much to report about them. I haven't noticed anything (and yes, I am watching out for things... very carefully).
My doctors haven't really worked everything out about the medication, but it's my understanding that if I stick with these pills I'll be on them for the rest of my life.
Not quite sure how I feel about that, honestly.
But I'm having no problems with it at the moment. Extra points for that, I guess.
