The Drop in Centre

This morning was the 3rd day on my antibiotic.  Had a bout of severe dizziness and nausea about an hour or so after taking it. Honestly think I passed out  for a moment - had went to adjust the thermostat, realized I'd better sit down (slid down the wall), then realized I was laying on my back.  Have a Dr apt this afternoon.  Dizziness / nausea have mostly passed, but passing out and aspirating on my 🤢 is not how I would like to leave this cycle of life.

Morning, DiC! Shrink appointment in a bit. Hypothetically choir practice this evening. Not sure what to do about the latter. Have a great day, everyone!

Love the new name, @Brayon! It suits you. And cool that you're branching out and getting more exposure. I've been doing the same. :) 

Hi Thorn, hope your appointment went well

Dizzyness / nausea has passed so I should be fine driving myself. Going to take a short nap before my apt.

Passing out is definitely not good. Take care on the road.

Started posting my Tampa Chronicles series over on Nifty. Only two chapters out of the thirteen posted here are posted over there. With Nifty, if you don't already know, there is no way to do reader/author interaction on the site. They have to send you an email, to the address listed on your submitted chapters. I've gotten eight emails from readers. Two of which live here in Tampa, and didn't know about GA, and one GA member.

sitting in the waiting room on eye doctor Wednesday's will always make me nervous. fingers crossed that the length of this appointment (He checked in over an hour ago) does not signal renewed swelling or bleeding.

Hey, Dugh! Thanks. ❤️ Are you doing okay?

I'm okay, just the usual for me. Migraine most days but on the Aimovig the severity is better so less pain meds which is a huge plus. About half as many days when I take meds and sleep most of the next 24 hours. Doc says I can expect some continuing improvement over the next six months.

Nifty is where I found out about your new identity.

"Orthostatic Hypotension" -- the antibiotic is causing my blood pressure to drop (even though that shouldn't be a thing it does). Dropped enough this morning that I passed out when I stood up; he said the nausea was related to that. Dr. gave me some Prednisone, which will help with the coughing and increase my blood pressure. Knew it had been staying real low even though I started taking Symbicort and my inhalor, both of which should have made it go up a bit.

I'm familiar with that condition. If I try to do too much physical activity that will happen and trigger a migraine.

Hope that the steps your taking help. Just be aware when you get up from lying down or when standing, do it slowly and don't move too quickly.

No. I saw the notice for the Tampa Chronicles with a different author attached. At first I thought someone might have stolen your story so I came back to GA to verify the story was yours and saw your updated author name. BTW, I enjoyed that story and have been reading the others posted here.

Another day passed watching Lucifer. On season 3 now. Also played some The Last of Us earlier. Still can't get used to the PS4 controller... I'm way too used to keyboard and mouse gaming. How the hell do I aim with this thing? I'm wasting ammo, lol!

I've been wanting to post to Nifty, but I read their submission instructions and I honestly couldn't make heads or tails out of how it actually works. :/

Oof, sounds like you've had a really rough day, Fae. Hope the Prednisone will help. Take care of yourself! ❤️

Thanks for looking out me. I appreciate it. Also, I'm glad you enjoyed the stories.

thank You Sir

the swelling is back in the left eye, & is in a spot they can't use the laser for, so it's back to the injections
