I am sooooo sick.
I am having a reaction to one of my meds...the niaspan. I take the aspirin half hour before I take the 2 horse pills, like the dr. suggests to reduce the "flushing," I still get it anyway but I'm able to tolerate it mostly...if I have to...if it means good things for my heart....
I took it at 11 pm last night and woke up about 5:30 am with my skin ABLAZE!!! From my head to toe...my skin isn't only flushed like I belong in the lobster family...it hurts...it hurts to touch, it hurts to stretch, it hurts to sit and do nothing....it just hurts. So I got in a cold tub and then I started to shiver...I got out...and then I started to vomit...and then I got hot again...so anyway I felt so miserable all I wanted to do was fall back asleep and hope it would be away when i woke up....it wasn't....so i got the girls ready for school...we missed the bus...i had to drive them to school....i took my youngest in and went right to the nurse cuz Ava was coughing and I thought...i'm not gonna get home and have them call me to pick her up so I'll just see....she had a temp. slight...but nurse said...take her home cuz fevers climb through the day....so I've got her home watching toons and I slept a bit more. My heart dr. 's nurse called me a lil bit ago...of course niaspan is a slow release drug so she thinks for some reason it just got released into my system 6 hours later? But she's going to go back and run it by dr. to see if I should stay on it. And my skin still hurts and I'm still nauseous. Plus my heart has been scareing me lately so they will schedule me apt. when they call back.
...in other news...Ava said she needs foody...and suggested watermelon, goldfish, and mini marshmellows. I don't care right now...as long as I don't have to move around a lot... I'm all for it.
