big girl pants, drugs, friends, knee, meds, osteoarthritis, reaction, side effects, widow

anyone who knows me, knows that my body does not deal with drugs (medication, lol) at all well…

since I was small taking any prescription drug was difficult as before the time it should be taken until, my body would start to react… usually it would start to burn my body, or make me feel sick…

over the years I have been able to reduce the amount needed or just not take any… the side effects are usually much worse than the pain they might be blocking…

I’ve been taking something for pain and inflammation in my knee since Saturday… I was using pills that I’ve taken a few times and haven’t caused any problems for me…

a friend went looking for a new bottle as this one was nearly empty and I will likely need them for a few more days… and of course I also need something that is small so I can swallow it, lol…

she went to three or four places trying to find them, but couldn’t…

eventually we figured out that I might have picked up this bottle in Hawaii, lol…

I’ve felt like I burnt my tongue drinking my tea since yesterday, and have just come to realize it is a reaction to the drugs…

maybe the ointment she picked up will work sufficiently on its own, sigh…

surprise…

antibiotic, aquasize, big girl pants, feet, medication, pharmacist, reaction, sandals, snow, sun, surprises, widow

couple of surprises over the last few days…

last night as we were getting ready for aquasize, I noticed that my feet were red and warm… at first I wondered if it was something from the spa… or maybe from my sandals…

they were still red this afternoon so I contacted the pharmacist to see if it was something to do with new antibiotic I am taking to help with an outbreak of blepharitis…

 
because my body responds so poorly to any type of medication I was worried that I was having a strange reaction… Grant reviewed the side effects and thought it was a sensitivity to the sun… I had spent some time on the deck on Monday so that was certainly a possibility… when I got home I changed into some leggings which matched the marks on my ankles exactly… happily I think that confirms his idea… for the next month I will have to be very careful when out in the sun…

as I drove home from work it was spitting and I took this picture when I got into the house just before five… can’t believe that nearly all the snow is gone…

  
I had a lovely nap and woke up to this just before eight…

  
not such nice surprises, lol…

maybe I won’t be wearing my sandals to work in the morning…

freezing…

dentist, eruption, freezing, hibiscus, reaction

went to the dentist a little over a week ago… for a filling… can’t remember the last time I’ve had a filling, sigh…

it went very well and I was rather proud of my calm throughout the whole procedure…

she froze the top right side of my mouth where she was working… seemed to recover fine…

a day or so later, my lips felt very dry and I was wondering if I wasn’t drinking enough water… after a few days I was even using some balm to try to make my lips feel better…

a day or so after that I got a big pimple under my nose… it really hurt… then three or four more erupted along the right topside of my lip all the way to the crease of my lips…

I was wondering if I’d eaten too many leftover Halloween chocolates, but didn’t think I had…

yesterday it occurred to me that this all might be a reaction to the freezing…

I have reached the point that I don’t use any drugs because my body reacts so poorly… when I had my hernia/hysterectomy I stopped taking the drugs within a very short period as they were making me feel terrible… dealing with pain was better than being so sick… I know the pain will eventually go away…

today there is still one very angry looking spot, but I think the others are starting to subside…
