Medical intoxication

A fair night's sleep, but when I woke up and took my meds I began to feel poorly again. A good Saturday pancake breakfast didn't improve the way I felt. This time, I'm tired with a headache. I feel like I have a hangover. It's rare for me to have a headache unless I have an infection. I don't have a temperature or inflammation, and I haven't drunk alcohol of any kind. I went for a walk in Llandaff Fields to see if fresh air would clear my head. It didn't. With a cold wind blowing and drizzle, eight degrees C felt like zero.

An all-age Welsh Amateur Athletics cross country runners' meeting was under way in the park with scores of participants from primary school aged kids to middle aged adults and even older men and women. Despite the vile, weather onlookers seemed to be enjoying themselves, some choosing to jog from place to place rather than walk, presumably to keep warm. The running piste will be very muddy by this evening.

After lunch I had to ret reat to bed for an hour, but couldn't settle to sleep properly. In the end I went out and paced the streets until sunset. The toxic hangover in my head slowly dispersed by the time I reached home, some nineteen hours after taking the statin. What on earth is going on? Which of the three different medications is upsetting me, or is it a combination of them?

Clare made a vegetable soup for supper. I was talking as I took my second clot dispersal med of the day automatically and then couldn't remember if I had or not. I'm not good at recalling more than one thing at a time. If I get distracted and for instance, put my phone down, moving about the house, it can take a me a while to track it down. The advantage of taking two of the same capsules daily is that checking is easy. If I haven't, the remaining number of capsules will be odd. I just have to check by counting them. Unless of course I've missed two doses. Then I may be in trouble!

After we'd eaten, I recorded and edited next Wednesday's Morning Prayer, aware that I may need to do this early in case the intoxicating effect of the meds continues to make me feel poorly, or even worse. Early beg again tonight
