I'm on Meth

Methylprednisolone, that is.

It's a steroid that's hopefully going to prevent me from having to have surgery. The list of the side effects of this stuff is a mile long. Check it out--

Lawd.

My only complaint is that no matter how tired I get, I can't seem to fall asleep.

I used to work two jobs and would get off at 11 p.m. on Sunday night and have to be at my other job at 8 a.m. on Monday. It's really hard to get off at 11 and go straight to bed and sleep, so on those nights, I'd take a dramamine as soon as I got home. It would help me fall asleep, but I wouldn't wake up groggy. Sometimes I still take it, or I'll take melatonin instead.

One of the possible side effects is petechiae? Great, why not just put "Caution: this crap may give you Ebola. Best of luck with that, sport."
