Ok, I admit that I am extremely skeptical when it comes to the medical industry. I use the term industry because what used to be the art of healing is now just another machine for the economy (wow that sounded cynical) but am I wrong?
Granted I have been wildly blessed on being healthy and healthy people make lousy sick people when they ARE sick because they haven't built up the tolerance for it.
But even after going to the doc, and having her tell me nothing new I went ahead and paid for the meds and for two days endeavored to be a good little patient and take them.
Holy smokes.
The vertigo got worse, and the meds sort of did this up-down, energy, go go go, then crash-and-burn thing. I felt crappy all weekend and to top that Bryan and I had the grumps (which never happens) which made sunday really icky all around.
So yesterday I decided to forget the meds and just "let the thing work its way out". The result was the contrast of the original vertigo versus the drug enhanced version which was torture. Simply put things into perspective. So I feel better, sort of.
Building up that tolerance I guess.
Back at work anyway.
I'm with you on the meds, one of my greatest challenges is to come to peace with the meds that keep me mobile. A few weeks ago, I felt so good I forgot I needed them, and went without. It was a hard couple of days! Today, my oldest son wanted to go to the mall - flip flops, a shirt, a pair of shorts, I thought of when you posted of visiting a mail with Daniel and that gave me great courage!! Thanks for that - we were in and out in 30 minutes. That I could handle.
Anj, thanks so much for the encouragement. Truly I am wildly blessed and I would be such a big baby to have a chronic illness and I am somewhat humbled by your generous comments. Although I guess some might consider the Introverted-highly-sensitive-person thing to be a chronic illness.;-)
I think it is so cool that the random rants or streams of feeling strewn on a blog can be an encouragement to someone. I am glad my mall experience bolstered your mall experience.
