Pharma-Blast

[tyellas]

I am not enjoying my twice-daily doses of the steroid dexamethasone, nor of the anaerobic antibiotic Tiberal. No, sir, I'm not. The Tiberal, as promised, is delivering near-constant nausea and the death of my prizewinning intestinal flora. The dexamethasone induces insomnia to a startling degree. Normally, I reliably snooze like I've been hit on the head with a croquet mallet. Not last night.

Granted, this pharma-blast does seem to be axing my jaw infection, so that I don't have to go to an oral surgeon. Still, to those of you on medications long-term: how do you STAND it?

Yikes; I hope you feel better soon.

Actually having something in my stomach seems to help. I got up at 2 AM last night and ate a handful of almonds, for example.
