Every time we take a pill or refill a prescription, we are reminded that we are sick. Even if we are symptom free for a while, that pill reminds us about what lies just under the surface. Is it any wonder that people often “forget” to take their medication?
Try this. Learn what each medication does to control your disease. Then as you take your meds, think about the good things they do for you. This is not the time to think about side effects. All medications are a matter of risk versus benefit. Right now we are focusing on the benefits and ONLY the benefits. Rather than resenting the medication, give thanks for it. Say to yourself, “This medication helps me by_____. I am thankful that I live in a time and place where my disease is treated and medications are available.” Let your medication be a blessing.
