This is just a little health update for my personal records – as well as for the entire world I guess – you know, part of the documentation.
While I was at NIH Kevin upped my Advair, but told me to come down on the dose after about a month or so. This weekend I had some rather strange symptoms and I’m wondering if it was because of the steroids in the Advair? Who knows, maybe I’m just nuts.
I went through about two days of feeling very edgy or anxious for no good reason. It was as if every little thing made me jump or somehow made me feel irritated. I tried to go to Homers Saturday night to listen to the live music, but the mere voices of the people around me had the same grating affect as someone running their fingers down a chalk board. Intellectually I knew there was no good reason for this, but it’s how I felt. I had to leave.
I went home and could hardly stand to sit still. I couldn’t concentrate on anything. Finally I took one of the pills they gave me for the panic attacks I was having at work before I finally left. I haven’t taken one in a year, nor have I had a panic attack.
It must have helped me because I promptly fell asleep for about 15 hours.
Today I feel great. I did fall asleep this afternoon for no good reason. You’d think with all that sleeping I wouldn’t do that. I was trying to get ready to leave home and was rushing around and tripped over a chair and cut my foot. It was bleeding and I didn’t want to leave until it had stopped. I fell asleep holding pressure on it.
The other strange symptoms this weekend were that my joints were really aching more than even usual, and my tummy was crampy and upset.
The good news is today I feel just great!
