I had beer last night, but not enough for this. Just two... cups. If you were a hundred pounder, male, that would be like three to four beers over the night. Probably more like three, because the increased tolerance by mass isn't linear. No, I think I just slept wrong. I couldn't get my pillow right, it bothered a bit enough that I woke to work on it several times last night. An unusual thing. I am never sure, on such nights, if it is the pillow I can't get right, or something is just out with my back or neck. I woke to a really solid headache. No migraine, thankfully. I can work through almost any headaches, and most migraines. So this isn't a huge thing.
A shower, shortly, then perhaps sometime, after drying and air drying... I really should have been a dog... I'll get to town. I really need milk, cream, and might have a fast food meal. Hmm, where to go. LaRaza burgers are out, emo is out though if they would go full goth I might stop in, theft central is out... Ah, right. I know where to go. They don't have burgers or fries, but will do. I guess my choices are down to restaurants or sandwiches. *shrug*
At least this time, even in the dregs of life for whatever reason, actually several of them probably, I didn't just let medicine slide. I took the last doses from my medicine sets yesterday. Sometimes I really can't set up the meds again, sometimes I just get... stubborn. Two or three days, or weeks, might go by before I get to it again. The CoQ10 is really helping, if I had to bet. I can take much less of the main heart medicine and still keep the stats the docs want. I would guess the medical industrial complex can't get rich off the stuff so don't even whisper about it. It has helped, at quarter doses of the other stuff, to keep my bp in the 130/100 range. High, sure, but beats 216/180, or even 150/120 but on doses of the main stuff that aren't sustainable. I just jumped from 50 to 100 mg bid, which might lower that even more.
I started out cautiously with the new stuff. At this time, CoQ10 is the only thing that remains of the trial stuff. One seemed useless, one I may just have lost track of (or was it spiking blood sugar), on and on. I'm still a bit on the fence about vitamins and supplements. Sure, they can work, if you get what you are supposed to be getting, and without additives that you don't, or shouldn't, take. The Western world is bad about those things, with supplements, China might be downright out to get us. And they can change at a moment's notice. Of course, what I can tell from medicines, they are doing that with those too. Every other script for every other medicine seems to look different than I have ever seen it. They say it's "all the same", but it's not. They often work quite differently, and that might or might not make a huge difference. No complaints here, so far, that way. But it is expected at some point.
Still, with medicines set up, and morning meds taken, a bit of coffee going down, and painkillers in just a bit as this headache is annoying if nothing else, I should get off to a minor good day. I can't do much for work. Just blasted for whatever reason. I was actually hoping that tipping some suds might rest the score. No such luck. Though I think, for that to work, I have to drink... a bit more. I just didn't have the thirst last night. Well... Later.
Re: CoQ10, the Ubiquinol form is supposed to be much more bioavailable. Might want to research that and see for yourself. Glad to hear it seems to be helping.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check that out. I need to find more, so... This time, and from now on though, I will look for non-Chinese. Some of their stuff isn't as important. But anything consumable is simply not worth the risk. Doctor's Best 'seems' to be produced in the US. That isn't a guarantee, it just means it is less likely to have mercury or something else in it. After seeing what just plain CoQ10 does, though, I am curious about this other.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip.
