2003-03-11 18:46:22 ET Went to my doctor appointment today. That odd rash that was on my shoulder turned out to be a tiny spot of eczema. Yay eczema! Yay for free samples of topical cream to clear it up! Came away from the visit with two prescriptions, one for a possible ear-infection and the second to help clear my complexion. I also found out that I had lost 10 pounds since the last time I saw the doctor a year and a half ago. I have the sneaking suspicion that most of that was lost over these past two months. Bleh...I have to remember to do the following things while taking my meds: -avoid sunlight -do not eat dairy products and most multivitamins for two hours before and after dose -take pill on an empty stomach -take pill with food -avoid sick people for the next 12 months (looooong after finishing that particular prescription) -do not suddenly stop taking above prescription (it could severely hurt me O.O) -do not lay down for 30 minutes after taking medicine -medicine might reduce effectiveness of birth control pills -do not get pregnant -do not nurse Thank god that the last three don't apply to me. :smirks: And lastly... -call doctor immediately if stool is black and tarry; vomiting material looks like coffee grounds... Eep! Errr...I still feel better after finally visiting the doctor. I'm glad I got it out of the way. Tonight, dinner with Micah follow by a repeat viewing of Resident Evil. I fell asleep the first viewing. |
