Good evening everyone,
So today is my fourth day on PrEP. I can't lie I was hella lazy today. I woke up at 11:30 am, didn't get anything accomplished other than cleaning my apartment and shaving my face. I was a slacker and didn't take my pill til 5 pm without food again. Now the bottle clearly states you can take it without food but the lady at the pharmacy suggested to eat first. From now on I'm going to listen. I feel miserable right now. My stomach has been cramping ever since I took it. I laid in a hot bath thinking making the hot water would south it. I ate and still no relief. I just literally feel miserable. On a normal night I would stay up till around 1 am. But tonight I am planning to be asleep by 11:30 pm. I don't want this feeling again, and this was what I was scared of before I started taking this pill.
I consulted with my friends and most take it with food. Some take it during lunch, others take it before going to sleep, and then others take it in the morning. So I have to find out what's best for me now. I just know this stomach crMp thing can't happen anymore. But I will say I thank goodness I haven't experienced the diarrhea or nausea side effects. Phew, knock on wood. But I hope that all will be much better tomorrow. I believe on days like this it makes me question is it worth taking this lil blue pill. But at the end I think yes.
I appreciate all the questions I get on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. It just shows you're paying attention and you're curious about PrEP. I hope I can be some service to you. Feel free to reach out to me as a sounding board. But until next time I'm outtie. Night night
