I have three different morning routines; one for a work day, one for a non-work but still a school-run day, and one for weekends. The basic components are the same (wake up, shower, dress, eat) but there are different additions; one of which is the moment where I rattle like a medical cabinet.
As someone who has suffered from an underactive thyroid and gastric reflux for around 15 years, I am very used to taking tablets daily. One of them is necessary to actually function, the other prevents me from being doubled up in pain and managing to eat simple foods without getting heartburn. Or even drink water.
Because when I was pregnant with The Boy, I wasn't able to take my gastric reflux tablets and even drinking water would give me heartburn. On bad days even my own saliva gave me heartburn.
