Finally Feeling Better - May 25 2009

May 25, 2009

Boy I feel like I have really been put through the ringer.  And from what I can tell there is still a lot more to come.  The biggest things are these new feelings in my body that I have no idea what they are!!! 

The last few days I have been so sick with a horrible pain in my throat and chest that came and went and I had no idea what it was.  I thougth I was getting stuck on my meds and I was sliming and generally feeling like horrible.  I have been so afraid to take my meds and I would take one or two here and there and no normal routine like I had been following for so long.  Finally, last night I took all of my meds to the pharmacy and talked with the pharmacist about the problem.  First thing he said was that my meds were not causing this problem.  He did go over all of them with me and told me that I did not even need to cut most of them in half.  He said my problem sounded like reflux and I should see what kind of test my Doc wanted to run.  Well....duhhh...when you're scared to take you meds your scared to take your nexium too.  So I had no idea how much of it I had even taken. 

I took one nexium and started feeling a little better but it was still waking me during the night.  So I took another nexium durning the night.  I feel so much better this morning.  It must have actually been reflux.  I just hope it continues and I don't get to feeling bad again this afternoon.  I am so ready for just one day of feeling good!!!!

I did fix the meds problem.  I bought one of those weekly med keepers and separated all my meds for the next week and put my pill cutter right with it.  So today I am on track for when to take what meds and hopefully, finally on the way to feeling better!!!
