You can't just barge in here making demands!

I hate my medication. Hate it hate it hate it. Currently I take something like five different type of pill a day, plus a powder mixed into water–when I remember to take the bulk of them. They're all on their own schedule (every 4 hours, every 6, twice a day, three times, etc) and as a result whenever I have to go anywhere for any amount of time I have to take a travel kit (read: an empty pill bottle with a smattering of random pills inside) with me.

For the longest time I had every medication's schedule set in my phone, each with a different alarm sound, guaranteeing I pissed of anyone around me every few hours. Now, I don't even bother because I don't even care. In truth, the only thing I make sure I take are the painkillers, because without I end up in a whimpering heap on the floor cursing the day I was born. Not that that doesn't happen with some regularity when I do take the pills.

The other medications are supposed to help with the pain; I get them from the pain clinic after all, but I swear they don't do anything no matter how punctual or how judicious I am with the schedule. It's just a matter of having odd pain, so I deal with it.

On top of that I've got what amounts to special vitamins. Potassium phosphate and Vitamin D which, oddly enough, if I take too much can cause kidney stones. Ever had a kidney stone? Well I haven't and I don't want to.

Nonetheless, the worst thing is actually the stuff I make sure I never miss. Time release morphine & another, powerful, painkiller. When I take the painkiller too much (always) it can make me irritable and sometimes sweaty (plus side effects I'm not talking about in public), when I'm late on a dose of the morphine I, in the blink of an eye, get freakin' EXHAUSTED. It sucks. Hell, there's even side effects to the powder (again, not that I'm talking about in public) that just piss. me. off.

But there's nothing that can be done about much of it. I'm headed to the doctor Friday. The doctor who already tried to swap one medication and failed because he's an asshole. Think I'll try and get him to swap a second, see what happens. I do not hold out much hope, however.
