my drug regime

This is my drug regime:

0600                1 x omeprazole

0630                2 x codeine
0630                2 x paracetemol

0900                2 x docusate
0900                1 x dexamethasone (2mg)   see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dexamethasone  http://www.nhs.uk/medicine-guides/pages/MedicineOverview.aspx?condition=Steroid%20responsive%20conditions&medicine=dexamethasone

1200                2 x paracetemol
1200                2 x codeine

1800                2 x paracetemol
1800                2 x codeine
1800                1 x dexamethasone (2 mg)

2330                1 x senna
2330                2 x paracetemol
2330                2 x codeine

Omeprazole is a drug to protect my guts against the steroids.
Codeine is a strong pain killer, and causes constipation.  Taking the codeine is optional, but at the moment I generally need to take it.
Docusate and senna are drugs to help keep my bowels moving (and this is working well).
Dexamethasone is a steroid.  This reduce swelling within the brain. 

I think you can all see what I am focused on today.  Gotta make sure we get the drugs in order.

love you
