Okay, hm.. I aaked the nurse what medication I'm on, and she brought in my chart and showed me and it just said "RSS" but I can't find anything that says what "RSS" is.
-
@thisismissem unmarked otherwise is… interesting.
-
@thisismissem I've not heard of RSS but have heard of SSR
-
@thisismissem Like first guess is that you're looking at melatonin or something else along those lines, but I don't know german drug laws well enough to know if there's something else that could be unmarked like that which they'd be likely to give you.
A few pain killers, maybe, but those (in the US, at least) would be clearly marked.
-
@hrefna I'd be very surprised if melatonin. Because it'd royally mess with my natural circadian rhythm (which is offset with Berlin by 4-6 hours west)
-
@paul what's SSR?
-
-
@thisismissem Could it maybe be ASS? (would be a typo on your chart then... which isn't good
)That's a blood-thinner. I mention it because you wrote you have some heart condition - my child has too and gets ASS daily to make the blood flow better. And it is small white splittable tablets. Maybe that's a hint?
-
@Glatorius that could be it! Sounds like a likely misreading of my chart R looking like A for some people's all caps. This nurse didn't know specifically what I was on, just was doing deliveries & basic checks (temperature, blood pressure, remove IV)
-
@thisismissem They are used for anxiety but also used to relieve chronic pain
-
@paul oh ah, mm, well I can have a reason for both, but it was written RSS or ASS on my chart, not SSR
-
@thisismissem if it is slightly salty and slightly bitter then that would match with the aspirin hypothesis.
-
@hrefna yeah, it was aspirin, asked the doctor later and he clarified it was.
