Welcome to the new format and my now .com. So very excited about where this blog is heading. Now, down to business. I had an experience a few days ago that inspired my subject. Chronic illness warriors know that medicine can come a dime a dozen from your physicians. When a new complaint pops up it’s usually accompanied by a new pill. Unfortunately, I have been a guinea pig for new medicines on the market which comes with it’s own set of interesting side effects. This occurred once again as I took a new pill on the market for pain. I’ve taken this pill before, but as you know things can change. I felt as if I were having an outer body experience.  I was dizzy,anxious, and I couldn’t sleep. This lasted for more than 12 hours! Never again,I’d rather suffer through pain than go on that merry go round. I can’t wait to tell my doctor this is not for me anymore, and no new pills anytime soon. Be your best advocate, speak up when something doesn’t feel right. It’s your body, make sure you protect it at all cost.
