Another man's poison

Today, with the approval of Prof Trainer, Quent has reduced his dose of hydrocortisone from 20mg / 20mg / 20mg to 20mg / 10mg / 10mg. Once he's better, he'll be on 10mg / 5mg / 5mg (ongoing), so this seems a good halfway point. Prof also said he can stop taking lansoprazole, so now Quent is just on:

• Clexane - injections to thin the blood for another two weeks
• Hydrocortisone - long term medication
• Fludrocortisone - long term medication

The hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone tablets are small (weeny in the case of fludrocortisone), so he won't be rattling with capsules. All good news.

We saw the GP this morning for the next prescription and she pointed out that Quent's tablets are merely replacing what his adrenal gland would have produced; he's not adding anything extra into his metabolism. Good point.

Quent has been into the chemist to set up the repeat prescription. While he was in there, he decided to buy me some perfume. What did he choose? Pure Poison, by Dior. But then they don't do perfume called Imitating Physiology.
