Me and Hat [Yeah!]

|

I feel a bit better. I promised A. yesterday to go out for a little walk today although I didn't really feel like it. So we did, first time out of the house in days and guess what I had my hat on... But it started to annoy me after walking for 20 minutes or so and I wanted to take it off because it was itchy! God I hate those things. I had to wear the hat though because I still have a sinus infection although the pressure on my head and eyes seems to be less than it was a couple of days ago!

I was fed up with walking after half an hour and glad that we were on our way back home. It's just taking too much energy still and I haven't eaten much over the last 4 days. I have a better appetite today but I still have to catch up on some of the energy that I lost. Carla called me yesterday to tell me that she felt better and that she went up north to the island and was having a jolly good time over there. I do regret the fact that I'm ill but she also told me that it had been pissing down while over here the sun had been shining all day. She got completely soaked in the morning... She just called to see how I was doing.

I still don't have my G5... Yes I'm stubborn. I don't understand why some people don't keep their promises. This guy promised me to call me whenever the machine was finished and I still didn't hear from him/them. I refuse to call them myself because A. already did. He had the same problem couple of months ago, they never call whenever the stuff is fixed, ready or whatever. I find it a lack of service to be honest and when I heard that I had to go there to get what I needed all I could do was sigh really because I'd rather avoid that particular place... We'll see what happens next...

I found out yesterday that the regular cough syrup that I was taking was seriously affecting my other meds. I told A. something was wrong. I had an irregular heartbeat again, spasms, I felt nauseous, dizzy and had slight panic attacks. It all happened when I was still at work Wednesday morning. I had to calm myself down. Something didn't feel right when it happened, like my meds weren't working. I really had to focus on staying calm and getting no panic attack. I didn't realise it had something to do with the cough syrup.

Yesterday after I took two full cups of the cough syrup it caused exactly the same thing and I mentioned it to A. still not realising that it had to do with the syrup until I started to think back in time, checking what I had done that Wednesday and what I had done yesterday before the same effect started to kick in. In a way I was lucky because yesterday the effect was almost immediately there, it took a few minutes and not a couple of hours. So I looked it up on the internet and found out that these two meds didn't agree with each other.

It's not mentioned anywhere on the bottle though not on any of the packages. It's a normal cough syrup that dissolves the phlegm in the bronchi, making it easier for the body to remove the phlegm naturally. So from now on the cough syrup is totally banned. I don't understand that something as simple and affective as that could cause such a reaction with other meds without even having it mentioned on the label. It's quite tricky and I'm glad I found out in time... Anyway it's time to crawl under the duvet and put my mind to rest...

Sweet dreams!

Go on... Laugh... [A. took them]
