CW: medical terminology, medication and System abuse.
Suboxone Update: IT WORKED.
i’m actually emotional right now. i only needed 2 pills for the WHOLE DAY.
This entire fu***ng time. yay!! it worked!! now she can stop complaining about her period!!
yeah no i wish…for me it just opened Pandora’s box because *big breath*
I SPENT 10 YEARS OF MY FU***NG LIFE UNTIL YESTERDAY abusing acetaminophen.
I SPENT 10 YEARS OF MY LIFE choking down 6-12 pills a day because The doctors NEVER BELIEVED ME
and told me to “jUsT tAKE eXTRa MiDol when you need it”
i *ALWAYS* *NEED* It.
“the pain will get better when you’re older”
haha yeah…
now i have gut issues.
I got older, my pain got worse.
Because Egotism, and ageism GAVE ME A WHOLE NEW FU***NG MEDICAL PROBLEM💕
the cramps are still the same tho. never changed. 💕
I SPENT 10 YEARS *obliterating* my fu***ng stomach lining, and vomiting blood. THAT WAS NORMAL FOR ME
because I thought, and was told BY MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS that I had no other options.
i realize now, I didn’t have to go through any of that.
I only needed 2 suboxone.
this whole time.
WHY could nobody believe my pain?!
I HAD TO DESTROY MY BODY FOR A DECADE
A DECADE!!!!!!
WHY DID MY FU***NG FRIEND HAVE TO HELP ME?!!!
WHY?!!!!!!!!!
WHY CAN’T THESE FU***NG PEOPLE JUST DO THEIR JOBS?!
i have so many emotions right now.
most of them hopelessness.
i’m so grateful that my friend helped me…but now, there’s just another prescription to fight for.
if for some reason she can’t get it, or needs to keep it for herself, I know in my heart of hearts that next month, I’ll be back on Midol. Right where I started, melting my gut with acetaminophen.
because there is no other safe option.
Besides a prescription, and actual help.
but as I’ve been shown (and told) repeatedly, time and time again - I don’t count.
