Optimism Deflated

Sep 05, 2006 21:22

Ok, after a good first week or so and some successful work under my belt, I am retracting my earlier optimism about Physics classes. The math, which I know already, is still hella hard. So hard I can't even begin to understand some of the problems without 20 minutes consulting the book and some sort of graphing software (Excel doesn't cut it). ( Read more... )

blaxploitation?

this blows my mind more than doublespeak.

p.s. medication shouldn't turn you cotton-mouthed. please tell me that you're seeking medical attention in addition to drinking this water, yes?

It's not cotton mouth so much as a Diarrheic effect, but I think Diarrheic sounds really gross (although "anal leakage" is a far grosser description of Diarrhea then plain old diarrhea). One of the meds’ side effects is that is causes your body to go through more water, and the dry mouth is a symptom of me being thirsty. My mom is not all that happy that they have me on this, and because of that I have been treated to all kinds of conversations about the possible side effects. Basically, I just forgot to drink enough today. The doctor said this was pretty normal. Stupid genetics.

I say that you drastically cut salt and butter out of your diet and forget the pills.

Of course, I have zero clout in the medical world so maybe you should see a doctor. . . .

Oh, and P.S. -- remember the BRATY diet that I was on? It's designed to help with your side effect. Most water is soaked up in the large intestine, so if you slow things down, you shouldn't be as dehydrated.

okay, ending discussion of Taylor's bowels. . . . NOW.
