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.
-
It's a medium sized white tablet, able to be split in half, no other markings on it? So like 4mm diameter by 1.5mm round tablet.
I'm guessing maybe an antibiotic or paracetamol or something?
-
@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.
