Ok I probably don't have pre-Alzheimers Disease...I don't think that's even a real thing. However, I take so many blasted pills in the morning I often forget which ones I've taken. This morning I started with one pill (maybe?), moved on to the next, and the next, then a vitamin, and then I couldn't remember if I had taken the first pill or not....So I may have taken the first pill twice. I should be in a nursing home. And then there are the side effects. Awesome.
I was recently diagnosed with severe insulin resistance....which I like to blame for my borderline obesity. Nevermind that I don't exercise and eat like a five-year-old when his mom isn't watching. It's all the insulin resistance....right. And I have an elevated thyroid. Now I'm not sure what a thyroid does, but when it's "elevated" it means it's not working hard enough. Call me crazy, but i Does that sound backwards to any one else?? So I have Metformin twice a day for the insulin resistance, and Levothyroxin for the thyroid issue. I also take Effexor because it keeps me happy and sane, and prenatal vitamins because I want my hair to grow faster before my wedding. Even when I skip the vitamns and just have the three, I still can't remember if I took the metformin or not. You know those pill boxes that have a spot for each day? and each is clearly labeled M, T, W, and so forth? I am considering getting one of those. And it really bugs me that I am considering it. I am 26 years old people! Not 76! I should be able to remember if I took a pill or not. Embarrassing. AND THE SIDE EFFECTS! Sometimes Effexor still gives me a headache, and I'm pretty sure the metformin is making me tired. I am tired literally ALL THE TIME! I could sleep until 1:00 in the afternoon and STILL be exhausted. And being exhausted makes me emotional...on top of stress about wedding plans and money and what not... so I cry over EVERYTHING. And I'm not a huge cry-er. Sure I get teary-eyed during movies, or at mission farewells etc., but I rarely cry because of something that happened to me in real life. Or so I thought. Lately I cry all the time. Example: Tuesday morning I woke up at 8:30, I'm supposed to be at work at 9:00. I was going to be late. What did i do? Sat on my bed and cried about it. Not just whimpery tears of frustration...no. We are talking chest-heaving SOBBING because I was going to be late for work. Luckily my boss is amazing (he's my dad) and let me have the day off to rest and get a blasted grip. What's my problem?
