does your doctors ever just drop something on you much later about your meds or your conditions and it explains a lot
#Like my seizure meds can make me dehydrated
#I've been on them three years and just kinda chalked up being thirsty to ya know...needing water but nope Keppra can make you dehydrated
#Or when I was taking sucrafate for 6 months before a Dr told me I had to take it several hours before eating BC IT PREVENTS UPTAKE
#OF ANYTHING INCLUDING MEDS SO I BASICALLY WASNT TAKING MY MEDS FOR MONTHS AND WAS GETTING SICK AND DIDNT KNOW WHY
#BC NO ONE BOTHERED TO TELL ME I SHOULDNT TAKE IT WITH OTHER MEDS JUST NOT FOOD??
#AND THE DOC DIDNT EVEN TELL ME INTENTIONALLY SHE JUST MENTIONED IT OFF HAND AND I WAS LIKE WAIT WHAT
#SHE WAS SO SHOCKED NO ONE TOLD ME AND IT WASNT LISTED ON THE BOTTLE
#I'm still mad about it I was getting extra seizures for months for no reason bc of an oversight
#Since I got that info I've been taking my meds properly and I haven't had a seizure for almost a year

#Remember to ask every question you can think of and ask aggressively
#Every interaction with other meds every side effect
#You NEED to know you're not being pushy it's your body and health
#ASK THINGS OF YOUR DR ITS WHY THEYRE THERE ITS FOR THE BEST
#chronic illness
#medicine
#Medication
#Even if you are being pushy it's your right to know everything about why and what they're giving you
#I also thought Ativan was a neasua drug for a while bv they always give it to me in the er when I have a cvs episode
#But it's for anxiety and they use it to put me out while the actual drugs work and that's okay!!!
#But I didn't know so I stared asking for Ativan (and zofran) when I went in and got denied because they thought I was a junkie/on detox
#For a med a doctor would otherwise order for my distress bc I didn't know better
#Know your meds and know them well it can only help you in the long run
#Keeping a list written or digital that you can show doctors also helps so they know how drugs can interact if your an er frequent flyer
