#also start allergy shots x_____x
Text
i watched one (1) movie about big pharma and now am researching the allergy meds i've been on for 18-13 years and connecting unexpected dots
#i don't actually understand enough about pharmacology to be that confident in anything#but am now curious if being on daily antihistamines for most of my life contributes to having The World's Driest Fucking Skin#and also intrigued by the fact that the reason i was told they didn't keep me on prednisone year-round (despite it being the only med that#actually lets me breathe completely freely + have a sense of smell) is that it causes bone loss#but ??? it apparently also suppresses the immune system?#which ig sort of makes sense if allergies are essentially ur immune system going whack attack at random benign shit#and FASCINATED by the fact antihistamines can be used for insomnia when they r in fact#insomnia making drugs for my family#also this is all a reminder i rlly rlly need to go see an in-person allergist sometime this year#both bc i'm apparently due to get my lungs checked and also bc i would like to talk w/ someone abt the montelukast thing#like i am not eager to go off it bc it's the most effective med i've had in#y'know#18 yr of allergies#but the side effects are. kind of a lot.? and were not explained when i was started on it#so would just like to see what my options are#also start allergy shots x_____x#personal#this has been medical history with curio hour
