Today was my recheck. It has been a looooooooooooong day too.
The doc is happy with my numbers! She is glad we found a med that works for me. So am I. In general I feel much better. heat still does me in. I mentioned my cough, something that I get off and on. She says this time it may be the meds. We are both hoping not! However to rule it out she gave me a prescription for allegra to calm any allergies that may be flaring up. I told her if I can take a low dose of nyquil and stop the coughing I do not think it is the med. She says we will see. If the coughing stops with the allegra in 3 weeks time great. if not I am to call and go back in.
The cough is not harmful and can not hurt me, it is just really annoying. My lungs are clear so it is not there even though it feels like it is. I have had this cough for years it just hits me at different times. I told her if I can take nyquil nightly (less than 1/2 a dose) and not become a lush, that is preferable to giving up the med that has finally given me back my life!
I also lost 4 lbs! I can now exercise too. I plan to begin tomorrow!
The day was too long though and I spent too much time in the heat. I took Judy to get job applications, then Chris treated us to lunch and then more time in the hot cat getting more apps on the way home. I will take her with me Wednesday to work and return the apps after I get off.
Heat really wears on me still. My doc says that is normal for me and nothing I can do about it except avoid long exposures to direct sun and heat. I will be soooooooooooooo glad to get my truck back with its AC! She says a nap in the Ac in the afternoon is not out of line at all.
Well I need to think about fixing supper.
have an awesome afternoon ladies!
