150 words. Not very good, but better than nothing.

Doctor's appointment today. New doc; the RN I was seeing before has left the building. Generally good all around. Apparently the prescription formulation that I've been having issues is "medically identical" to the thing that I had before. Presumably the difference in response I have to it is a case of the brand name difference and thus the filler. Or my entire neurochemistry took a wrong turn at Albuquerque at about the time I shifted brands. Other revelations include the fact that I need new glasses, which I've been suspecting for a while.

Spent way too long trying to find the information for the game today before I managed to grasp the whole "Monday in April" thing meaning that there quite possibly wasn't one. This is one of many dumbasseries, like missing class at PA due to massive flakeitude (though there's a scheduled reprise on Wednesday, so I'll make that one).

[livejournal.com profile] iced_spice is organising one of my silly comments again. Horray for the Distributed Offerings Network. ;)

Am turning into a lizard. This does not, however, make me a cabbage or something.

I do *not* buy this "medically identical" concept. Both I and several others I know have found this to not be the case. Clarinex is supposed to be "medically identical" to Claritin, but one works on me and the other is about as efficacious as a sugar pill. Generic percocet is NOT the same as brand percocet, either, and according to a doc who treated Nemtet's mom, the base drug is different, not just the binding agent. So I'm skeptical of that whole concept. I don't care how similar they *say* it is.

*giggles at your other comment* Yay for Heru-ness and silly comments that make a startling amount of sense!

Last I checked, to buttress your statements a little, Clarinex and Claritin are not identical. Claritin is loratadine. Clarinex is perloratadine, which is a modified form of same they made so they could sell it by prescription again.
