[X] My Assistant

Just calm down & listen to the doctor. He doesn't want to kill you (I hope..)

Yeah, I know that too... I've just needed to whine about it at the moment. :3

I know all this stuff, but every time I read the new medicines instructions and see side-effects like "thrombocytopenia", "granulocytopenia", "leukocytopenia", "erythema", "myalgia", "arthralgia", "bipolar disorder", "hemorrhage" or "necrosis" - it's fuckin' freaks me out.

Don't worry. Only people diagnosed with [en.wikipedia.org] this will freak out and downright refuse to take the medicine.

Every medicine has a lot of side-effects. Most of them are extremely rare.

Just to clarify things, I'm not a doctor myself, but my shelves are so full of pills and medicine that I could pretty much open a drugstore with all those conditions I've been through, and I've seen so many of them they often get pissed at me and ask me if I'm trying to do their job.

Everything you do in real life is potentially dangerous. It's all about that benefit/risk shit.

Carefully read the leaflet, see if there are any interactions with any other medicine you are currently taking and you'll be fine. Just like Brain said, listen to your doctor, take the right dose at the right time. When in doubt, give them a call just to make sure.

On a sidenote, some doctors will go as far as to tell you not to read the leaflet because it could potentially make you paranoid. That's bullshit. Always do it. Accidents happen when you go to the drugstore (especially if the prescription is handwritten) and sometimes you might end up with the wrong medicine. It happened to me once and I went through a little bit of trouble. Nothing life-threatening, but I'm still feeling the effects after eight years.

Nah, I'm not so dumb to refuse it, 'cause I understand the aftermath. :3

I always read it at least for giggles, cause...you know...try to laugh when you have no other options. :3

Well yeah, T-Virus was originally created as a medicine...

That's the motto for depressed people and people with diseases that cannot be cured.

Excluding people who can't laugh because of the pain, or because their zygomatix are fuxxored.

I have no mouth and I must laugh

cannot be cured

Such as AIDS, cancer or... I don't feel in the mood for a bad joke.

And, well, if that's your case, be strong. Because there's not much else you can do.

Nah, nothing fancy like AIDS or cancer. There are many incurable diseases in the world.

And, well, if that's your case, be strong. Because there's not much else you can do.

Well, I look on it from this point of view: all people know they'll die...I just more familiar with the terms. xD

Are you a spy?

Couldn't help but read that in RD's voice. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I stopped frequenting this hole since my last post in there.... but the picture IS pretty nice, thanks! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

S'what the internet is for, right? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
I myself loathe medicine to a point where I can't even take an aspirin, and that although I read the leaflets to reassure myself of the absurdly high unlikelihood of the side effects actually occurring.

Is that a self-reference right there? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Why, yes it is. My zygomatics are fine, though. Thank goodness.

Most welcome, sir.

And you didn't doublepost. I saved your ass there !

[sorry for the DP, my PS3 has a letter limit, when a mod sees this, he may take the two posts together]


Funfact: First they gave me antidepressants for my sleep problems, then sleeping pills for my depressive phases. I stopped taking the former after they knocked me out twice over and didn't even touch the latter to begin with.
Their latest coup was suggesting me te take ritalin...
What the fuck man, I just need a bitch to remind me of shit and poke me when I start gazing through the window again...

The bad thing with medicine is that the most common side effects tend to be the exact opposite of what they are supposed to cure.

In other words, your condition might get worse from the cure itself. But you still have to try.

Clorazepate dipotassium works wonders for my sleeping problems (that's the generic name - Tranxene here, should be known as Tranxilium in Germany). Helps with both pain and anxiety, but I feel kind of borderline since I've been taking that stuff. Ask your doctor about it and see if it is recommended in your case. Also, it mustn't mess with whatever medicine you are currently taking.

Daily dosages here : 4g paracetamol (highest possible dosage - 8x500mg pills), 40mg clorazepate dipotassium. They say you can go up to 50mg on the leaflet, but 40mg seems to be more than enough.

And I'm also under antidepressants to boot, but at a very low dose. 37.5mg venlafaxine a day because anything higher caused me to be completely unable to beat my meatstick back when I was healthy. :3

You mean this type of "polygamy"?

Four wives, fuck yeah. A true warrior.

Now how many husbands does that thing have ?

Russian doctors.

I just played Sushi Cat and Sushi Cat-The Honeymoon.

How many sushi cat games are there?
Answer:
There are 3.
(Here are the orders of the games)
1.Sushi Cat
2. Sushi Cat The Honey Moon
3. Sushi Cat 2
The people who made sushi cat SHOULD have called Sushi Cat 2 Sushi Cat 3 because it is the 3rd game in the series.

So the whole story is that Sushi Cat falls in love with a pink lady cat but she gets on a bus and goes away so while in a funk, Sushi Cat happens across a carnival and wins a pink cat doll. Then Sushi Cat and the pink cat doll get married and go on a cruise for their honeymoon. Then a mean doggy steals the cat doll and Sushi Cat gets pissed and goes on a quest to get it back.

Damn freaky Japs. But it's so cute. SC2 is my favorite.

I only played Sushi Cat 2, but high-fived the game because it was awesome.

And then I remembered I had 400 Firefox tabs to take care of, so I had to halt my progress and abandon the poor Sushi Cat. Played long enough to unlock a few outfits, though.

Sushi cat is the only fat thing that I am capable of finding cute so far.
