"Possible Side Effects"



So, today I'm starting taking my meloxicam again today, here's a picture of my lovely little anti-inflammatory for you...

 

My Iddy Biddy Licukl Meloxicam
 

They're really not much, as you can see, they're clearly quite small, my main problem with these is forgetting to take them, as they're a daily tablet, and I just have awful memory to be honest! But size is deceiving, it may be small, but we can't forget the fact it's also packed of weird ingredients that no one can pronounce such as... "anhydrous colloidal silica"... Yep, I definitely know what THAT is...

But along with the weird ingredients, there's the inevitable reading of the "possible side effects" section, which for some people probably causes great worry and concern, and sometimes it even worries me, but if anything it actually makes me laugh more so... (I suppose I wouldn't laugh if I did get any of the side effects...) But, of course all medications have a large list of possible side effects, it's just thinking about them being caused by such a small thing that makes me laugh. Now I shall share a joke I made up with you... I was very proud when I made this up, so, at least pretend you found it funny?

"So I'm reading the 'possible side effects' for my meloxicam tablets... and it says it can cause confusion.... but, that's nothing new, I'm already constantly confused.... so, how will I know if it's causing confusion?... I'M SO CONFUSED... "

Yes, that really did just happen... Anyway! My point here, is reading the 'possible side effects' section, is never fun, but try not to get too worried about them, they're simply a warning it MIGHT happen, not WILL happen. Because I'm one of those people that if I start getting worried about things like that, I then start to 'experience' them, and I'm then like "THIS HEADACHE IS BECAUSE OF THOSE TABLETS, THIS STOMACHE PAIN IS BECAUSE OF THOSE TABLETS, I FEEL TIRED BECAUSE OF THOSE TABLETS!!!!"... And I get very melodramatic over nothing, so let's try not let that happen!

Keep positive! :)

TTFN, Ta ta for now!!
