Not much going on today. It’s been pretty quiet so far.
I called my rheumatologist this morning — I’ve been having some side effects from the Lyrica that are pretty hard to deal with. I was able to deal the with zombie brain for the first week, but now it’s causing mood swings and depression. That is not good. The zombie brain is about 80% better — I can’t call it completely better, but I can think again. Mostly.
The mood swings? Yikes. I picked a fight with Brian yesterday over the difference between marinara sauce and spaghetti sauce. Yes, I agree with you, that’s a stupid thing to fight about. Once I realized that, I spent the next 3 hours crying about it, as well as crying about any other random thing. I can NOT live like that. PMS forever? No thanks.
Brian has been amazingly supportive throughout all of this, which is amazing. I would have killed me by now.
Anyway… I called the rheumatologist first thing this morning, and talked to the nurse there. She was amazing. Very supportive and just all around wonderful. We’re going to take me down to half the dosage on the Lyrica, and if the symptoms don’t get any better we may switch me to Savella. I’ve heard good and bad about it, but one of the tings I’ve heard is that it really helps the brain fog, too. Well, here’s hoping something works, without too many side effects. Some side effects I can handle. Crying all day is not one of them.
The rest of my day has mostly been spend lazing around the house. Not too many dishes, no laundry to speak of, and there were too many cats on my bed for me to make it up without disturbing them. They all looked to comfortable to move. So, I surfed the net and read for a bit. Thank bob for the interwebs, they keep me amused.
