Prozac by another Name

So he finally did it and I didn't even realize I had been duped!

So just a little something to dull all the pain, great me thinks. 'Just fluoxetina' - sounded flowery enough for me so off to the pharmacy i waddled, waddled because of tendinitis and bursitis in both hips - and no don't ask!

Was cheap enough as meds go here, found it strange that the prescription for the 2 steroid injections was given back to me but the 'fluo - whateva' was not, curious after all one gets anti-coagulants without a prescription in Brazil.

Thanks to my dear friend Liz, a nurse, a pain-free injection in the butt later I decided to 'google' the flowery sounding name and staring at me was exactly what I didn't expect or want to see! So what to do .....
I decided to bite the bullet and take them, who knows perhaps he right, it may help.

Four days down the line I only have side effects - loss of appetite, okay so I am not complaining as yet. Fortunately I am allowed to have my daily fermented grape juice tipple so all is well.
