✋🏿 Methylpred is even worse. Always leaves me with an awful metallic taste in my mouth, then I eat everything on site. My body relies on it though and helps to stop the flares. Catch 22. #Medications #Lupus #SpoonieLife #MoonFace #WeightGain

Getting my shit together. Portrait of drug resistant MDD & Fibro w/GI involvement. Half doses of non-Rx’s because I literally can’t swallow that many pills. Free samples supplementing my Rx’s because their monthly cost total is $465 after insurance, well, insurance only covers two of the four. 11 pills, not counting “as needed” anti-anxiety, pain, and nausea meds. This is just the morning routine my doctor suggests. #chronicillness #invisibleillness #fibrolife #fibromyalgia #spoonie #meds #depression #mdd #chronicpain
