UGG. Seems like I am popping pills throughout the day to combat issues causing problems. It's looking like a Pharmacy around here. Head cold. Hypothyroidism. Abnormal uterine bleeding.
Morning Thyroid meds taken on an empty stomach every day.
Taking Ibuprofen every 4 hours to help with the slowing of bleeding from fibroids until I can see the doctor in a few weeks.
Iron tabs to combat anemia due to the female issue.
DayQuil tabs to help with head cold every 4 hours.
Lunch time pills for health like CoQ10, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar.
Blood pressure/water pill after lunch.
Evening vitamins. Vitamin A, B, C, D3 with K2, E. Apple cider vinegar.
Should take Fiber powder mixed with water.
Night time cold meds.
Oh my. Spreading the meds out throughout the day so not so much is taken all at once requires staying aware of what I took, when and where. Keeping it all straight.
This morning after I returned from the Kitchen, my thoughts were on did I take my morning thyroid pills? As much as I wanted to recall, I couldn't. That's not comforting. I decided that I had not taken it. Off to the kitchen to take it. I've heard of people who forget if they take their meds or not and have wondered how can one forget if they took their meds or not? Now I know. It isn't something to write HOME about is it? Kind of scary to not be able to remember. Checking off on a preprinted list when a med is taken might be in the works for me. In a few weeks I am in hopes that my TSH numbers will be lower and that my memory gets better. Truly in hopes that this is the cause for forgetfulness and AUB. Perhaps I am onto something about how being super hypothyroid affects me. If nothing else, a mystery will have been explained.
I can say this...I'm getting my fluids throughout the day.
For someone who doesn't like taking medicines, I am popping pills none the less. It's going to get better. It has to. This cold will vanish and the vitamins will help me get to a healthier place. As my thyroid meds raise the serum in my body, I'm so hoping I will improve and the ill effects of being hypothyroid will lesson. Raising my Vitamin D level will be a bonus for so many reasons. On a mission that I had no idea I had to apply myself more than I have. Now to not think about it so much.
I am THANKFUL that we have medicines and supplies available to us and don't have to make everything ourselves or do without. It is a blessing to have medicine when needed. We all need some help from time to time.
