------------------------------------------

i am not doing so good. same ol' same ol' ... bad spiral.

virus - got over it but had to put off labs AGAIN esp with the use of echinacea which can change med levels. i had a migraine almost every day during that virus and still going. at one point i took triptans nearly every day for like 3 days, then quit coz of lucid dreaming, despite lowering my zoloft. i'm now taking a break unless i get a doozy. last few days have been mild paroxysmal ones. today got a moderate one i had to ice and sleep through.

i think the deal is the virus delayed my cycle. i ran out of magnesium which is what i'm supposed to use at this time, and was too embarrassed to ask folks to get more - i used it the last batch up fast with the omeprazole. :o

ok so getting better from this virus, on 2 nights straight i ate things that irritated my stomach again (hearburn), worsening my cough yet preventing me from using my more effective cough soothers, suspend my echinacea prematurely and boom, monday had a temp again... it went thank goodness.

Mom wants me to go to the doctor because my "cavernous-like" cough is now showing up. i have some albuterol (bronchodilator) drops for my nebulizer but i could ask for some beclomethasone (steroid) at this point. he is not very good at examining - and he never does. i still might ask, even though i feel like my chest is clear now unlike before.

the important thing hanging over me is those labs. since like september. in october the Neuro finally added his bit - a safety check for interaction between topamax and depakote. well he wrote the script probably wrong and i could get in trouble so i'll have to take it to my gp who always gets mad when he sees stuff this neuro writes. :o

==================================================

anyway if it's not one thing it's another or another or another. Things keep hitting from left field.

:( it's embarrassing hanging around like an invalid in the living room all the time. :(

Thanks for asking after me and for caring. Thanks for listening. :o :hug::hug::hug: :grouphug:

Dear Waves,
Thank you for posting.....I am sorry to hear about your migranes....I can't imagine how frustrating that must be and painful no less. I wish they were better controlled.
I misunderstood. You only take the magnesium during certain times of the month? I take 400mg everyday for bone support, along with calcium and vit d3. I hope that your cough issues go away soon and that your overall physical health improves asap!

Hi Waves. Those headaches can really wear you out. I'm so sorry that you go through this,and the other problems. Gentle Hugs...(((Hugs,and Love))) BF:hug::hug::hug:

sorry about the spiral
 

Dear Waves,


It is wonderful to hear from you.

Yeah, I understand. I have used that same language before --- embarrassing to be in this kind of situation you describe.


I have found that keeping track of / taking care of medical buisiness can be time consuming. If one were getting paid to do it, one might be rich.
Alternatively, thinking about all these things and not getting them done, is also time consuming some how. Either way, the whole thing is distracting and / or consuming.

'Good that you are over your virus. I hope your cough goes away.

Is is o.k that you made me laugh?

==================================================

Let's change the inning. You can bat, get a hit, and land on base to get into scoring position.

(Sorry. I am a little bit-fugue-y --sent an email to the wrong person -- I was writing about her but sent it to her instead -- that stinks --- got to be more careful --- maybe not send emails at all.)

Lots and lots of hugs. :hug: :grouphug: :hug: :heartthrob:

I am so sorry you are having so much trouble.

I too take magnesium for bone problems all the time. That is when
I can find the coated stuff. I'm having a problem right now finding
it. But have to make myself get to the mall and get some.

I can't swallow the other. It just sticks in my mouth and then I gag
it down. And then I can't stop throwing up for a while.
Sorry no one needed to hear that.


Sending thoughts to you.

You can buy Magnesium oil that you SRPAY on. It gets absorbed through the skin.
