It's infuriating that I've ended up on so many meds I can hardly manage them, and it's all because of side effects. The cancer meds caused me to have a stroke so now I am prescribed two stroke meds. It also caused food intolerances so i can eat very few foods without getting sick, so I've developed deficiencies and been prescribed vitamin injections and pills. One of these vitamins (folic acid) gives me terrible UTIs so I need antibiotics and bladder meds. These also have side effects. These issues have wrecked my skin so now I have eczema (so bad I've been hospitalised multiple times when it gets terribly infected), dermatitis and infected foot ulcers. It's caused chronic migraines so now I take migraine meds which have side effects, and many others.

And with the folic acid, it took seeing multiple doctors before they accepted that the folic acid was causing my UTIs. A simple google search would have shown them that folic acid is known to cause UTIs and other bladder issues but most doctors are too arrogant to even check something they haven't heard before and just dismissed me. And the latest bladder med they prescribed, in the side effects it lists UTIs, bleeding in urine and bladder pain as side effects! I've been begging to see a urologist for ages but they just keep fobbing me off with pills.
