Feeling a bit better?

It’s been awhile since I’ve felt good enough to post here at the ol’ blog. As you may know from my last post I’m having to deal with a lot of chronic pain of late plus feeling extremely tired all the time. But there may be hope on the horizon.

As you also may know I have to take a fair amount of medication, something my body is very intolerant of and after the last several weeks of feeling increasingly worse I began to suspect one or more of the medications was at fault. You see, I’m at that point in life where the better (read: healthier) years are behind me. Not that I’m a crotchety old bugger…er…yet but it’s about the time the body starts changing for the worse for the last period of it’s life. And in that lies the root of  my suspicion that one of the medications that used to work so well in the past might not be working quite so well in the present.

So I followed my suspicions to my pill box last weekend and to the pill in question and promptly removed them from their daily compartments. Now, 3 days later, the jury is still out but it looks like things may be a bit better or at least my outlook on life is a bit brighter anyway despite the lousy weather. The chronic pain will always be there of course but at the very least I felt good enough to write up this short post and that has to count for something?

Anyway, if anyone is still reading this thing wish me luck on my quest for betterment if you would. It would be much appreciated.

  1. As a fellow traveller along that road my advice is to carry on [gently] with the experimentation. It’s a sad fact of life that some medications cause more problems than they fix. Good luck with The Quest.

    Oh, and by the way…. I stopped reading this years ago.

  2. Sixty – Glad to see you’re still lurking in the shadows and thanks for pulling. Just don’t pull too hard, I might fall over. :)

    Denise – Many thanks. Not quite sure what my relatives have to do with anything though. Never liked them anyway.

    Grandad – Glad you’re still lurking as well, fellow traveler. I’ll carry on if you will. Don’t forget to bring your daily dispenser now.

    “Oh, and by the way…. I stopped reading this years ago.”

    Obviously.

  3. I’m still here, not often, but you know how it is. Have the same problems myself concerning meds, pain and so on.Glad you felt like writing and hope you get all straightened out and feel even better. Thinking about going to grandad’s to look at the porn, maybe you should too, a little pick-me- up. Blessings always, Sandi

    • Sandi – No use going to Grandad’s for porn viewing any longer. Herself caught him at it and took away his laptop. He can only use it for posting to his blog now and even then it’s chained to her wrist.

  4. Quickroute – Took a look at your “Irish for Dummies” series. I’ll have to remember those when I go to visit Grandad. Thanks a bunch (so it was the Vikings that caused all that red hair then? I always wondered about that).
