Am I the only person out there...

Am I the only person out there who is kind of sketchy about starting a new medication when I'm home alone?

I was woken up wayyy too early because the dogs needed out.  I had done some research yesterday on Otezla and found out that it contains 171mg of lactose - which, as I've aged, I've been less and less able to tolerate.  Even a sip of a milkshake will make me feel REALLY bad.  So, since I was up I decided to go to Wal-Mart and get some Lactaid pills because I am not really trying to feel like shit.  Pun!

I've taken my first pill with some breakfast and a Lactaid chewable.  I'm heading back to bed because I truly wasn't ready to be awake.  But also because if the pill makes me feel bad, then maybe I'll sleep through it.  I'm taking my Zofran with me.  Nausea is a common side effect of Otezla and I hate feeling nauseated.

Bonus Vocabulary Lesson:  Almost all of you have been using "nauseous" wrong.  "If you're nauseated you're about to throw up, if you're nauseous, you're a toxic funk and you're going to make someone else puke."  The incorrect usage is one of my pet peeves and I don't know why it's such a big deal to me.  I honestly don't even know how I know this.  LOL  But I do!
