Methimazole tastes NASTY. I'm usually okay with taking medicine and I
don't always need water when I'm swallowing pills (I almost never need
water to be honest) so I figured that I would be okay doing the same
with this anti-thyroid medicine.
It's the most amazing thing.
This tiny little pill seems to expand to the exact size of your throat
so that you can't get it down. At the same time, it fills your mouth
with this horribly bitter flavor. And it's chalky. Also gross. It took
me half a bottle of water to exorcise the taste.
I'm supposed to
see the doctor again in four weeks to see how my thyroid hormone levels
are. I'm also supposed to see the doctor immediately if I wake up
feeling feverish and have a sore throat because it potentially means
that all the white blood cells have left my body. Cool, huh?
On a side note, THERE IS STILL A MOUSE IN MY APARTMENT. I'm probably going to name him Harold.
