Thank you everyone!

[ThomCat]

I was a bit worried last night, and a bunch of you virtually held my hand. (here and here)

The new med knocked me out. I haven't been that firmly unconcious in many years, and this new med ISN'T a sleeping pill. If there had been any other strong side effects I would have been unable to deal with them, but but it was all minor. I still have a headache and dry-mouth, but my balance is back to what it normally is and I actually got a full night of sleep.

Thank you for holding my hand and talkig me through my worries last night. :grouphug:

1. Hey, ThomCat!

I just saw that thread this morning. I'm glad you're OK! I know what you mean about getting knocked out. That seems to be a side effect of lots of 'em.

Keep us posted, OK? :hug: :grouphug:

[ThomCat]

4. I will. Thank you.

:hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

2. I am glad to hear

:hug:

Are you going to continue taking the new med?


:pals:

[ThomCat]

5. Yes. If it helps me manage the pain, and it helps me sleep too

I'll deal with the other side effects. Last night was my first full night sleep in years. :)

[MissHoneychurch]

7. That is good to hear

and I am really glad there were no other major side effects.

3. Glad you're ok ThomCat.

[ThomCat]

6. It's amazing when a doctor finally does something that helps.

I have some very good doctors.

Thank you. :hug:

8. ThomCat! Glad you made it through the night OK...

:hug: :hug: I hope you're past any side effects!

[ThomCat]

9. The side effects will keep coming back

every time I take this medication for the first week or two. But eventually they'll go away. Now that I know I won't have any of the dangerous side effects I'm really happy about this new med.

When you're already taking strong drugs, and the new one interacts with the old ones, it's only healthy to be a bit concerned but everything is wonderful. :)

I'm so well rested today that I'm in a fantastic mood. I can't remember the last time I woke up and wasn't still tired.

11. I'm so happy and relieved to hear you had a good night!

If you haven't slept well for such a long time a few full nights' sleep should do wonders! :hug: I hope this combination will be an effective management regimen. I want good things for you! :loveya:

[ThomCat]

13. Time will tell.

But I'm being an optimist. :hug:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

14. glad to know you are ok

[ThomCat]

[reyd reid reed]

15. I'm glad the side effects were minimal

I have to admit, I looked for you to post when I got up this morning and was glad to see you.

:hug:

[ThomCat]

17. Thank you.

I really felt better knowing that people knew what was going on and were looking for me. :)

:hug:

[wildhorses]

19. hey sweetie

:hug: good to know!! I was reading your threads from last night, you do realize that everyone is serious in the offers of help. I really believe they are sincere. What Lizards that live close enough to be of "real" help, I would NOT hesitate to lean on them if I were you. Living alone is serious business, I know cos I live alone. Glad to hear about the meds. Are you getting enough water?:hug:

[ThomCat]

20. Hey, Wildhorses!

There really isn't anyone I know who is closer than an hour away. And I'd hesitate a long time before imposing on people. If was nearby and offered I would consider it, but that's not realisitic.
:shrug:

I do drink plenty of water. It's almost all I drink anymore and I usually get at least 2 full liters per day. No worries there.

I'm so excited about the idea of actually sleeping at night! If I could bounce around the office today I would. I have a silly grin on my face and people are asking me if I got laid last night. :P

[wildhorses]

21. okay, I trust your judgement but remember if you are invited

then it is not an imposition...:hug:

I can just see you bouncing:P

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

23. Anytime.

:hug:

24. That's good...

I wasn't here for last night's thread, but I'm glad everything went alright. :hug:
