Rebel

Rules? Who needs them. I've never been a good one to follow rules, however this being so sick crap I might have to be.  My natural instincts is to do the opposite of what I'm told. I'm not a brat, or an asshole, but I don't like being told what to do. I am my mother's daughter for sure and that's why we tend to get into trouble whenever we are together. It's the only life I know.

I got my Immunosuppresants tonight, and the booklet on the rules should be a novel. This will be hard. The pills are huge too, and if I do have to take them with me anywhere the bottle won't fit in my little red purse. Yes I know I have pill separators, and smaller containers but it's the principle.

The rules:
  • If in sun, highest sunscreen/hats/sunglasses 
  • but don't be in the sun.
  • Empty stomach, 2 pills twice a day
  • Do not lie down for 10 minutes after taking the pills.
  • Don't take it at bedtime
  • Nothing containing magnesium, 2-3 hours before or after
  • No Calcium 2-3 hours before or after taking the pills
  • No antacids, buffered tablets, vitamins, minerals.
  • No dairy, or zinc.
  • No iron (This is the big one since I need iron to you know, keep alive).
  • No aluminum - yes including applying deodorant 2-3 hours before or after taking the pills. 
  • No juice
I will really need to track everything that I do.

Tomorrow I start in the adventures of immunosuppresants. If you have a cold or a flu, I love you but please stay away.
