Isn't This What Every 20-Something Does?

No, really...? Isn't this normal? I mean, I can't be the only 22 that takes this at least twice a day. Here's a sad thing I'm starting to realize more and more: I will never get to be a normal 20-something. That's one of the hardest things to accept about this diagnosis. I've never been clubbing, I've been to a bar to drink once, I can't stay up too late because my medications don't like that. I can be having the best time and have a joint almost dislocate, or have pain pop up and decide to end the party early. My purse is heavier, mainly because I am scared to go somewhere without my necessary medications and then get in a situation where I need them. There are certain ones that cause very nasty "withdrawal" if I miss one dose. So here it goes, 10 1/2 pills before bed and a little prayer that my acid reflux behaves tonight so I can get sleep.
Be your own advocate.
Gentle hugs.
