Humulin for my diabetes. Compazine suppositories for the stomach flu-so I don’t end up in the ER again. Vicodin for my migraines. Leftover antibiotic eyedrops from December-pinkeye Leftover codeine cough syrup from December-bronchitis at the same time as pink eye-what a fun week that was ☹ Tylenol w/ Codeine-broke my left big toe this morning-tripped getting out of bed. Aleve Pepto Bismol Prenatal vitamins-no I’m not pregnant thank god but my doctor recommended them since I’m severely anemic. White surgical tape-to keep toe taped to it’e neighbor while it heals. ---

Twice a day I take: A multi-vitamin formulated for men. A deodorized garlic capsule to help keep the hypertension in check. 450mg of St. John’s Wort. Some days I take either a capsule of nettle extract for allergies, or a Claratin tablet if the allergies are particularly nasty that day. About six times a day I take a 12oz. can of Diet Pepsi to help assuage an oral fixation. Most Fridays: About 6 pints of stout in the evening. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Falcon \* > \*\* > Glucophage for PCOS. > \*\* How are you doing with the Glucophage. When I was on it I had what my doctor called “extreme intestinal distress” and am on Actos now. My guts are much happier. Along with the Actos are birth control pills and a bunch of vitamins. I was going through my purse yesterday and found Celebrex and Vicodin from when I shredded a bunch of stuff in my foot last summer. I had completely forgotten that I had those.
