I went to my pharmacy to get my non-effective, generic drug changed to a medicine that actually works. The FDA says that both drugs have the same effect. My body told me otherwise...I listened and trusted what my body was telling me.
My pharmacist was in a tizzy, frustrated, uncertain, constantly begging the assistance of the other pharmacist with her eyes and body language.
Me, little empathetic, no-worth me, really wanted to resort to the old way of thinking and apologize for the inconvenience. The old me wanted to say, "ah, don't bother, it's just me. I have odd reactions to things. Let's just call the whole thing off." I really had to...I don't want to say fight but I had to work strongly to believe my self, to believe what my body was telling me.
I stood my ground, unwaveringly, even with terribly sore knees and body. I believed my body...I believed Me:)
It took 10-15 minutes before the pharmacist could locate the right pill information. Never once did I apologize...big accomplishment on my part. When she did make the necessary changes, I did not thank her, because she was just doing her job. But I heartily, warmly congratulated her on solving the problem. She still looked pretty flustered but that's not my problem.
I am committed to getting healthier, physically And emotionally.
Today I took a very big step in that direction.
