I have no choice. My medicine is simply too strong at this point. It has taken over my life. I find myself unable to keep on target, to wake up well, stay functionally awake for long, do what I want/need to do, or even do eat/drink properly. At least I didn't tip over the line that leaves me unable to remember or think ahead. But I am on the fence with that. The problem is the main drug carvedilol, of which I am taking 25mg twice a day. I will be cutting it back to 25mg (at night) plus 1/2-25mg (in the morning). If that doesn't allow enough function I will need to cut to 2 x 1/2 of 25mg per day. The rest can stay as it is, or be amended by the docs. But this one just absolutely wipes me out. It is the single pill they want to increase, of course. They want it up to 50 mg, twice a day, at least, from what they are telling me. That will never happen without some sort of help. Simply put I would continually lose track of my medication (and the whole world, as well) and end up falling off it. I've tried this thing before, if on other meds. I know where that road leads.
I am not sure what the problem was yesterday. All I know is I was hungry and thirsty beyond reason. I ended up gaining two pounds, mostly from not being able to seemingly get enough fluid. I was tired and thirsty beyond reason. I am again today. No matter how much or what I drink, the felt need to drink more remains. I wasn't able to concentrate yesterday, so I didn't realize the way of it until about bedtime. Today, now that I know something is wrong, I am going to try and rein in consumption. Being extremely exhausted, again, today, it will be a difficult task.
Sam, while I was sleeping, decided that vomiting beside me was a good idea. Usually, when she begins gagging, I wake and toss her outside. I simply didn't hear it, so all of my bedding is in the wash room and needs to be cleaned and dried by this evening. She is henceforth banned from my room until I get my exhaustion under control, at least. That's just too gross.
I sure feel like another nap. And more WATER! Ugh.
Later.
Did you get my emails?

Yowtch. Sounds like it could be a blood sugar spike. Do you have means to test your sugar?
ReplyDeleteSig,
ReplyDeleteYes, I did. But I have been so ill I didn't respond. I was hoping to get them looked over first, I got about half way, ran out of energy, then lost track of what I was doing. So, yes.
Hey, I have been commenting at your site for some time. My comments just aren't getting through, by the way.
D.C.,
I don't think so. I've been eating little and drinking no soda. Besides, when diabetes kicks in my urine gets extremely foamy. I don't know if that is typical, but it is for me. I could always tell, roughly, when I hit 200 or more that way. Should have seen it when I was over 700! Could have shaved with it, if I was terribly desperate.
Not to worry. I have some problems with my comments not showing at other sites too. Have no idea why it happens. One site I just can't seem to comment at all and I used to do so frquently.
ReplyDeleteThere are only three sites, of those listed in my friends/family sidebar, that I can comment on. All places I have been commenting on for up to a decade.
ReplyDeleteAfter thinking about things, and seeing Google push for me to use the new blogger form, my guess is since I have not 'upgraded' my Google account, this is punishment. I am hearing from many others of this problem now. Mostly with blogspot users.
