Buddha Canvas

I have been eating Motrin like it’s candy. This wasn’t so much a problem when I figured it would be a temporary fix. However, after a month of no less than 2400mg a day, (max of 3600mg) I  figured I should check.  The pharmacist said ” You should never take more than 800mg a day”. The box says 1200mg, So I have lost faith in my drug guy. Anyways, I got myself an appointment  with my doctor today. Doc said that it is fine as long as I am not experiencing any side effects. I am not.I need the anti-inflammatory,  so it is the best over the counter option.I have a choice take the excessive amounts of Motrin or take a drug that is new to the market and costs an arm and a leg. I’m broke and have no health plan, so the choice is easy.

It’s probably a good thing I saw the doctor today, as I learned why I have not heard from the Rheumatologist I was referred to. The referral was never sent. Grrr. The email was sent today as I sat in the office.  Let the waiting recommence.
