The Yucky Pill

Every week for the past 4 months, I've had to take this nausea-inducing, pill to monitor my pituitary gland, regulate my hormone production and hopefully shrink this micro-growth in my brain. I suffer from blinding headaches, and other weird female-type symptoms, because of the growth and the pressure it's putting on my pituitary gland. So every Sunday at 11am, I would take this pill that was the size of two grains of rice, and for the next two hours, I would feel overwhelmingly dizzy, and throw up once or twice. It was NOT fun.

Well, today I found out from my endocrinologist, that it seems to be working, and that they want to try taking me off of it!

Yay. No more "Yucky Pill" Sundays! But somehow, my celebration seems to be subdued because they still don't know what's going on, and I'm part of the grand experiement.

For now, I'll enjoy having less medication in my system. I can take back my Sundays!
