Medication, health and nutrition
My friend and I have been researching about the medication that I am taking now. I have a hard time with the medication as they make me sleepy and weak at times. I am taking Olanzapine (for the mind), Carbimazole and Propanolol for my hyperthyrodism. I was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder by IMH and i have an overactive thyroid that produces excessive thyroid hormones. Thyroid hormones actually control and regulate the metabolism of the human body. What concerns me most is the drug interaction of the abovementioned medicines, how long must I depend on them and the nutrients that I am lacking. Through the research, I know more about the functions of the medicines to the body, the side effects, their half-life and other important information about them. Now, I am more aware of proper nutrition as it affects the development of the whole body system. Thanks to my friend, he has instilled the awareness of the importance of health in me. I hope I can improve my health and be committed to eat healthy food and to resume exercise.
