I am sitting here with 4 little pills in front of me....stalling...because I hate taking my medication. It sounds really silly, but it is really something I dread. I almost would say that it is the worst part of having lupus, but now that really is silly. I still haven't mastered pill swallowing, so it takes me a couple gags before I get it down.
The other part I hate is probably something that others can relate with -- the side effects. Right now, my joints and fatigue are not that bad, and the number one thing I am suffering from is the nausea that comes from taking my medication! Knowing that the nausea is connected to the pill makes it even tougher to swallow!
I take my azathioprine and plaquenil at night now so that I can sleep through some of the nausea, but it causes me to put it off and put it off. When I took all my medication in the morning, I'd do it and it'd be over for the rest of the day. Now it is something I spend the whole day dreading... :(
Okay, guess I have to stop whining and suck it up now (actually, swallow it down). Here I go...
