i can be a drug peddlar

Juz back from the doctor's.. finally got my Anarex and Prednisolone.. these are 2 of my favourite medicines (yes i actually have favourite medicines, if only because they cure my most chronic discomforts), which also includes DiarrStope. from these drugs i guess those of you who are pharmacists can guess at least 3 of the illnesses that i'm most commonly plagued with. bleah

when i added my newly acquired Anarex and Prednisolone to my drug collection, i realise that i actually have q alot of drugs on hand, more than half of which is off duty, thankfully.

i have medicines for 4 afflictions, namely sensitive nose (my doctors calls my nose the Sensitive New Age Nose, because apparently nowadays many pp seem to be afflicted with sensitive noses), indigestion, muscular pain relief, and acne. and understandably since my Sensitive New Age nose is my most chronic illness (those who have known me for sometime will notice that i'm forever having flu) i have the most medicines for that. i've got 4 for Sensitive New Age Nose, vs 2.5 (.5 because one of the medicine is actually a variant of another one) for indigestion vs 2 for muscular pain vs 1 for acne. GASP about 10 medicines. oh juz realised i havent counted my nasal sprays on my bed, which is another 1.5 (yes i've actually got 2 but one of them is a variant of the other) medicine for my Sensitive New Age Nose. actually i've still got 2 more offduty medicines for my acne. so altogether about 12 to 14 medicines in the last 9 months. that's scary. but think i'll juz be using 5 regularly.. anarex, fenfedrin + prednisolone, rhino/nasa-cort and diarrstope, which is actually the bacteria used in yakult to aid digestion, so mebbe it shouldnt be counted as a medicine.. i'm not taking the rest either because they are deemed to be not so effective or i've recovered from the illness.

another interesting thing..since i've had Sensitive New Age Nose since i was little child, i'm not surprised if the brands of medicines that i've taken constitute most of the ones in the market.

no wonder someone said i'm sickly =( but its not my fault that i'm sickly right? you think i want to be sick meh? in fact 3 out of 4 of the chronic illnesses i mentioned juz now could very well be due to stress. its bad enough to be stressed, worse to be stressed AND sick, even worse to be faulted for being subject to all these bad things. haiz.

anyway on the way to the doctor's i saw an interesting thing..



its a solar panel! possibly cuz of the setting up of REC in Singapore, we may very well begin to see more tapping of this green energy source on our little tropical island. (i'm proEarth!! if REC wasn't located in Tuas, i'd be surfing its career pages now hur hur)

Hey I know some nasal sprays are good relief but not advisable for long term usage. You betta check again with your doctor or read the labels properly leh...
