Ok, so I'm on this medication that has to be taken every 6 hours. If you think about it, there's no convenient way to do that at night since we're supposed to sleep 8 and the doctors said "get as much rest as possible"... well, I take mine at 1 and 7. So last night at 1 am my alarm goes off for me to take my pill...half awake I stumble to the kitchen, down a pill and a gulp of water. Done!
For the next 1.5 hrs I have creepy dreams about pills: doctors gave me moldy pills, or they're exploding inside of me etc. I wake up with a horrible pain in my lower esophagus. I remember the doctor explaining to me that this particular drug kills bacteria..which is good BUT, it kills a wide range of bacteria, even the ones in your digestive tract so it could cause problems... I immediately imagine this is it..there are no more working bacteria in my stomach so it's all backing up into my throat, like a bad toilet.. then I wake up a little more and realize that that stupid pill probably got lodged and is now dissolving in my throat. So I eat some tortilla, drink some water, and down some tums and go back to sleep... end of story
