Day 29 - and the meds keep piling up!

Day 29. Dr appt.. Ugh

So my fear was right, I have peripheral neuropathy caused by the INH. I've been trying to keep quiet & not do the freak out thing, so I haven't really told anyone about my symptoms. But my hands start to fall asleep whenever I hold them in front of me, like reading a book in bed, lounging on the couch playing candy crush, you know, that kinda thing. 

I've also had issues after standing for a while, my feet start to get the pins & needles feeling & then fall asleep & hurt like all get out! Damn the whole nurse thing & the fact that I have to stand a lot... On busy days, anyway! ;) it happens more like when I'm starting an IV or doing a blood draw for a while. Or waiting for a baby in a section. Once they come back they feel a little numb, like I have gloves on my feet. 

But it hasn't been too bad & I've been worried that I was putting too much thought into it & being that crazy nurse-everythingisalwayswrongwithme And I'm a little bit on the nutty side. Shocking 😱 I know!! 

So the doc told me to double my B6 & B12 complex & start magnesium at double the regular dose. And he gave me Rx strength folate. I have a gazillion daily pills now!! 

Yes, those are every single day! There are also a couple PRN ones that aren't here. Can you say hot mess? Lol!

I am laughing so I don't cry. I guess I still have that black cloud like I broke a mirror while walking under the ladder with the black kitty and spilling salt thing. 

Damn the luck! I swear if I end up having liver issues I am buying a lottery ticket cuz I have the best odds ever! Of course I should probably make sure to stay inside during all the storms lately. I'm pretty sure the lightening would find me outside...just a matter of time.

So aside from the pity party it was a good day. Had lunch with my BFF & a half. At Chuys! Can you say yummm! Went grocery shopping & spent less than $75, hooray! Got my quick fix liquid crack, aka Dr Pepper. Ah, one day I should write an Ode to Dr Pepper! It is totally underrated! 

And Maddie has her first loose tooth! OMG! I don't have a baby anymore! I started to worry that it's too early, Mrs Shanaynay talked me down & reminded me that she IS almost five! Wow, the time goes by so fast. I know that is so cliche, but it's so true. 

Ok, I'd better get some rest before my appt with Nurse Grandma/EvilStepmother! It is at 8 am in MF! Why do I do this to myself? Because I'm crazy, I guess we have already clarified that. I hope she doesn't want to change anything with my meds. Yikes! 

Anyways, goodnight! If you are lucky enough to have one near, hug a nurse! They deserve it! (Unless they are in dirty c-diff/mrsa/gi-bleed-smelling gross scrubs, in that case make them shower & change first!)
