I took a pill today for my chronic pain condition and I have discovered a very bad side effect. The medication has effected my ability to blog.
I had stopped taking the medication about 2 to 3 weeks ago. Not because it didn't help my pain. I stopped it because it caused me to have severe reflux. So severe, I would be awakened by it. I had hoped it wasn't the drug but after quitting it realized the reflux subsided quickly.
Sadly, I have noticed my ability to compose is very difficult. My fingers feel strange on the keyboard. I type slower and my thought processes are sluggish, painfully so. And I am suffering from horrible reflux.
Happily, I am not in pain and today I was able to walk erect not like the caveman posture I normally am subject to. I was able to walk a long distance as well. Anyway, this is the pits and tomorrow I will stop the Arthrotec once again. I can give up blogging but the reflux will destroy my esophagus.
My apologies for such a boring blog. And a bit of advice... if you feel different after taking a new med even a little bit. Try stopping the med. You would be surprised what you might learn.
I started taking Arthrotec, instead of Mobic, about a month ago. I really can't tell any difference except Arthrotec is more expensive. If I see no change after another month, I will be going back to Mobic.
