drugs

Last week I was prescribed pregabalin, a drug that targets nerve, or "neuropathic" pain. This is intended to mask my sciatica, a condition that makes my left leg feel like there's a very long, fine saw running up and down the outside of my hip, thigh, calf and ankle. The prescription takes the total number of pills and tablets I take to 25. Every day.

I am going to photograph the tablets I take in interesting settings, and post them on Instagram, as a little insight into and record of my painful life.
