#rifampin

[weirdpersonifiedpills]

Rifampicin (and the class of rifamycins as a whole) were named after a French noir film, Rififi (1955). Rifampicin itself stands for Rif-AMP-(m)icin, with AMP referring to its N-amino-N′-methylpiperazine substitution.

Who says we can't have the pharmaceutical equivalent the sonic the hedgehog protein.

That’s hilarious and when I design this med I will absolutely base it on said movie as well. Bros gonna have a fedora or something.

Also Rifa over here is another member of the “biblically accurate angel looking skeletal structure” club along with Vitamin B12

I feel like I’ve been run over by a fucking truck today. 

I have to be off of all of my methylation stuff for three days in order to get a blood test. I was off of them for four days (couldn’t wake up to get the test) last week and then they couldn’t/wouldn’t do the test there so now I’ve been off of them for three days again. Felt wayyyy too shitty to even wake up today, so I couldn’t go again. 

I’m herxing hard from my rifampin. The methylation stuff really helps me deal with my herxes - obviously. And I don’t have it. And I feel like fuuuuck.

Anyway.

Ow.

Rifampin is messing up my hormones which is making my birth control not work which is making me ovulate which is making me grow ovarian cysts which is making me ouchy.
