Default Med Meltdown

Perhaps it's time I told the story of why I was hospitalized - i've only shared the medication comedy.

Although I have more appts and probably more tests to take; it's my feeling that I had a medication meltdown. I was in the hospital for heart tests - if you've ever had a panic attack, and last week I had my first two, you know that it eventually makes you wonder if you are having a heart attack.

Passed all the heart tests - no problem. Then went to neuro - wrapped in ace bandages and looking like a meltdown lol;......and he reduced my sinemet.

Between the two changes - wrapping, less sinemet. i am feeling better. But I do have lingering paranoia.

Now I thought these kinds of things only happened to other people.....seems it happens to anyone. Our meds are powerful stuff.

Hopefully that explains the other post as well.
