I didn't even look!

Doc had put me on new script-I told you all about it. And I didn't look at side affects on purpose. No need scaring myself about them. Well, Friday I started with a migraine at work, ok, took meds-didn't work. Saturday-got worse. By Saturday night I gave in and read the side affects of the new inhaler. UH- in bold print - HEADACHE-. Yeah, right, headache isn't the name for it. Needless to say, I am NOT taking that inhaler anymore.

I made it in to work today at 50% capacity. I could walk, talk and dress myself. That qualified for being able to work. (hey that is what I used to see if I had to go to sick call in the ARMY). It has not been my most productive day. But stuff is getting done, albeit sloooowly.;(

Dh has been extremely understanding. Having me almost fall on him helped quite a bit. Not to mention steady tears. I am still feeling yuck, but better yuck than yesterday.;)

I did make it to my neurologist appointment. (the jury trial was cancelled!). The sleep study showed that in the early stages of sleep I stopped breathing approx. 9 times an hour-within acceptable limits. During REM sleep, however, I stopped breathing 40 times an hour. NOT acceptable. I go for a second sleep study with cpap machine on 11/11/11. Doc said about 12 weeks after I get machine, I will find alot of my memory and other health issues improving dramatically, including my asthma. Makes sense to me. I know that I have woken up gasping for breath, but thought is was asthma, guess it wasn't.
