For those of you who have been reading, you'll remember that yesterday I forgot to take my morning meds. This is not without its own perils. When I forget to take medication I tend to get a headache and become nauseous. I am also very tired and usually sleep the day away.
I got a second wind at about 8:30 in the evening. That's about the same time that I am supposed to be drifting peacefully off to sleep while snuggling my Shih Tzu. Staying up later is not something I enjoy as it messes with my sleep and my schedule the following day. Luckily, I don't work on Mondays or Tuesdays so I had the opportunity to recoup and get myself back on track.
On the morning after, I struggle to wake-up. I feel like I am swimming through cotton balls to get to the surface of wakefulness. It takes several hours and a shower before I am truly awake and ready to interact with others. I still feel a bit off, but should be more in tune by tomorrow morning.
Missing medication or purposefully skipping it is not something that does me or those around me any good. I have everything set-up so I keep up with it. All it does is make me more unstable and emotional and nothing good can come of it.
If you forget to take your meds what do you do? Does it mess with you? What happens if you can't afford to pay for them? What do you do then?
