Hello again.
Wow apoligies for posting again so soon but some disturbing thoughts have crossed my mind several times in the last few weeks.
In a previous post 'lyrics' I listed some of the medication I am on for pain management.
You see apart from those listed and some other non pain related medications such as the pill, I also take antihistamines (for hay fever which I get all year round), and a tablet called 'somac' which just stops any heartburn which I started getting from taking all these tablets... anyway don't read this the wrong way but sometimes I'm afraid I'll somehow have a "Heath Ledger moment" or accident, where its not the case of too much of a few specific drugs, but just too much of a combination of drugs, particularly over a period of time, when pain is super bad.
You see, when I'm in pain I space my medications out. I take the medications which are the 'smallest' in the pharmaceutical line of pain relievers ie; panadene forte or imobrufen, even moving up through to Valium depending on the type of pain, up to where I can not take any more pain and take the more 'heavier' medications such as Endone.
What I'm most concerned about is that how harmful can this be over a 6-8-12 hour period and how much risk am I putting my self at when doing this*
You see all Heath ledger took the night he died was two different types of sleeping tablets, Oxycontin, Endone and Valium. And he was just to trying to sleep at night.
Now I'm no fool and would never do something like that for something as little as sleep but it does cross my mind that sometimes I have those exact same medications within a four hour period particularly at night. If any of you who read this have any advice, please post a comment or email me at jl4cummins@students.latrobe.edu.au. thanks guys
sometimes scared so I'm,
signing out,
Jen xx
*things to ask the doctor
Im a melbourne girl who is using this blog to vent about my life. As well as being a Uni student studying education with a double major of PE and health, Im a chronic pain sufferer, who spends more time in a doctors office than anyone should have to. I also have a keen interest in anatomy and physiology, probably because of all that has happened to me.
