So, my doctors have started me on a new medication called "Cimzia". It has it's ups and downs. A plus is that I don't have to take it everyday. I only have to take it every 2 weeks, and in 4 weeks, I only have to take it monthly.
The downside is it's an injection. That I have to give myself. And I can either inject it into my stomach or my leg. And it freaks me out. And I don't like it. I'm fine with having a nurse or whoever doing it, but having to do it myself is just freaky.
The nurse who was teaching me how to do it was weird. I couldn't really understand her because she had this really thick accent, so I had to have her repeat herself a bunch of times, and she wasn't the most organized person in the world. She had to call me after she left and warn me of the side effects of the Cimzia, and all I could think was, "Isn't that something you should have told me BEFORE I gave myself the injections..?"
Oh well. So far I haven't had a reaction, so I'm guessing that's a good thing. I just really hate injecting myself with stuff...
As for the new school year and such, I switched out of my ASL class and into a 7 week English 102 class, starting in October. The downside to that is that it's on Saturday, 8-12:15. Not so fun. But oh well. I'll survive.
