Medicine Drawer
21 April 2020
Hey I hope you are all staying safe! I have been able to work so have kept my sanity that way and also doing continual professional development. My current project is rabbit clinics so right up my alley! This actually brings me to today's post.
I was looking for a notebook for my course notes when I stumbled upon my "drug drawer" which I know most people have. Upon looking at it I thought I should sort it out.
From the pictures below you can see just how much medication was in there. They are a combination of current medication and past medication I have been on.
It was crazy to see it in front of me in this way. Before being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis I could barely swallow one tablet. Now i take 30 tablets a day as part of my regular medication and varying other amounts of medication to also help control other conditions or symptoms.
I almost cried looking at this. I worry I will never live a day again in my life where i do not have to take medication daily. I dream about the days before all this where i woke up and went about my day without alarms on my phone reminding me to take more tablets. I remember how this morning the thought of swallowing 9 tablets was making me feel physically sick.
Can you help me try to regain a life where this may never be reality again?
By donating just a few dollars you will be helping me on my way to a life which reflects a 27 year old rather than that of a pensioners. You could be one of my heroes.
Thank you and stay safe 💜
