Chapter 257 - Some Changes
A week ago yesterday (Saturday) I developed a sore throat. After a week of coughs, sneezing, blood streaked snot, weakness & dizziness I saw a doctor yesterday, he prescribed an anti-biotic. I spent most of today watching TED Talks on my TV in the lounge room, typing this blog is the first attempt to do something on-line since Friday. She has been very scared that she will catch my disease, doesn't really understand that the viral infection was gone days ago.
Although I shouldn't have been driving, I took her to her GP appointment on Wednesday for the results of her HOLTER test of several weeks ago; he said there was nothing untoward in the results. Of course while she wore the monitor she experienced none of the fuzzy vision episodes. I have tried to have her record each instance but I'm unsure whether she has. We asked the GP how she should eliminate the Deralin 40mg she has taken for a number of years, as requested by her neuro in Hot Air City; he gave her a script for 10mg Deralin which she should take 2 only at a time in place of the 40mg. I asked what symptoms may we see from the reduction & he replied "Increased shakes & possibly head aches".
She began taking the 2x10mg Deralin from yesterday. Although I noticed no change, she said her head was shaking more than usual. As the day wore on her head became "tight" and a strong dull headache developed. By bedtime she was sure that a panic attack was on the way. In my own sickness I attempted to calm her down and she had an average night. All today the back of her neck has had a dull ache. She monitored her BP up to 160/90 but then it dropped to her usual levels of around 130/75.
Her meds are as follows:
0800 1x Sifrol 1mg
1x Stalevo 250/200
2x Deralin 10mg (this & Deralin doses below had been 1x 40mg)
1x Crestor
1x Astrix 100mg
1200 1x Stalevo 250/200
2x Deralin 10mg
1 Caltrate 600mg
1600 1 Sifrol 1 mg
1x Stalevo 250/200
2x Deralin 10mg
1x Vitamin D 1000iu
2000 1x Stalevo 250/200
2x Deralin 10mg
1x Magnesium
2400 1x Sifrol 1mg
1x Sinemet CR 200/50
2x Deralin 10mg
There are probably other notes to record in this blog but I lack the stamina, this is the second day I've skipped my Lumosity exercises.
