Sorry I haven’t posted in awhile. I’ve been having a lot of medical problems. It all started last month. I had to get my blood tested. My primary doctor called, and told me that my liver function is elevated, and I need to call my psychiatrist and have me removed from my medication that I take at night for my insomnia problem. He then put me on Ambian instead. I didn’t want to be on that, and I almost said something, but I didn’t. So I started the ambian, and my insomnia got worse. I would wake up four, sometimes five times through the night, every night. So basically, I was hardly getting any sleep whatsoever. After three weeks of taking it, my body and system totally shut down. I was in bed sleeping for three days straight. So I called my psychiatrist back and made an appointment for the next day. I told him I couldn’t take the ambian meds anymore, and that I needed something else. So he put me on a new antidepressant that helps with insomnia. The first day it worked pretty well, though I did wake up twice. It’s nice not having disturbing dreams anymore. Friday I was having trouble breathing. My chest felt really tight, it hurt to breathe, and my chest hurt. I messaged my pulmonary physician on the website, but he couldn’t get me till Monday afternoon. So Friday I went to the emergency room. I had to wait three hours in the waiting area before I got called back. At least they ran all the tests they needed while I waited. Then when I get a room, they gave me a breathing treatment, a shot of steroids in my iv. I didn’t feel that much better, and I told the nurse that, and he would tell the doctor. When the doctor finally came back, he acted like I wasn’t important enough and he rushed to have me discharged. He gave me a prescription for prednisone and an antibiotic. The antibiotic made me feel like shit. It gave me the jitters really bad. I also felt really weak and drained. I almost wrecked my car a couple times cause I was so jittery and shaky, that I had trouble stopping my car, especially at stop signs. I couldn’t get my car to stop until I was halfway through it already. Yesterday was one of my worst days ever. I was so confused and disoriented. Poor Matt was freaking out so bad. Anyhoo, today was my last dose of antibiotics and steroids. I am so happy to finished with that horrible antibiotic. That stuff fucked me up so bad. I took time off to recuperate. I used some of my vacation days, but I need to get rest and busy myself to get well again. Take care
