Medication confession
Man, I can't believe I am confessiong to this, but I'm hoping it will spur me into action.
- I keep missing doses of my Pentasa, and their are only two reasons I can come up with as to why.... Firstly, the tablets always get stuck in my throat (even when I cut them in half) and secondly Part of me still doesnt see the need for them.
The second part I think comes from the whole fact that medication caused this illness in me, but I also think I have a fear of OD'ing because I've tried to OD several times in the past. And that I can be wreckless with my health at times.
I'm hoping that by telling you all, it might cause me to start taking this illness a little more seriously than the current 'blah' attitude i have, and make me realise that I need to control this illness!
It is really annoying being naturally self destructive when the going gets tough.

Hey,
I was doing better with them, till I came back to uni (on the 21st) then I had a few days where it really did slip my mind again, but I solved this issue with a notice board on my door saying 'TAKE YOUR MEDS' so am doing better now :D But i'm cutting down from 4g to 2g a day from the 9th now :)
