I have always been scared of medicine. One reason being I have Mitral Valve Prolapse and just having caffeine makes me have skipped beats and flutters. I have had that for 32 years. The doctors have always told me not to take any sinus medicines or anything that has a D in it like a decongestant. Most of the time I suffer thru whatever sickness I have. I have lots of sinus problems but I can take an antibiotic.
Today I was having severe problems with allergies/sinus. Jana told me to try her children's Claritin. I took half the dosage it tells kids to take being the big sissy I am. Wow! It did nothing to me and I started feeling better in a little while. Meanwhile the doctor called in an antibiotic for me. Now I was wondering if I could take both together. My daughter Melanie googled it and it said it was okay. So down the hatch went my antibiotic. I hope I feel worlds better tomorrow. Once I take something and it doesn't make my heart flutter I am good. I will take it anytime. You just don't know how happy that made me to know I can take Claritin.
All these years since I was diagnosed with heart palpitations I took my heart meds but hardly anything else. Last year when I had the laser surgery and I was in such pain I did finally take the pain pills. It was hurting so bad nothing could make it any worse. I lived over the pain medication so I was good. They had given me three or four medicines but I didn't take the rest. I used to take an anxiety medicine for four years. I quit taking it just this year and just trying to calm down and not have any anxiety. Of course that is not working too good but I am trying.
Tomorrow I will be driving for seven hours. That used to cause me anxiety. Not so much anymore. When I was married to Jeff several times he had to come pick me up. My anxiety was thru the roof and I couldn't make it home. Now there is no one to come get me so I just make it somehow. Just like when I was with him and I got down to 93 lbs. Now I weigh a whopping 104.7. I do better alone I guess.
I took my antibiotic. Now I am going to sleep. Goodnight all.
