Itch

Things have been improving slowly. I keep wishing for faster. Well, maybe I'm learning a new lesson.

I was started back on a medicine that helps my heart but also affects blood pressure. They are having me take 1/4 of a pill. Quite an interesting dose. Luckily the pill is huge so it isn't too bad to cut into fourths. After 2 days on the pill. (Note: I had previously been on this pill) I developed a lovely hive like rash on arms, legs and back and boy did it itch. So I stopped the pill until the rash was all gone and then reintroduced the pill to my system again last yesterday. No obvious rash but my hands are swollen and itch terribly and my arms appear a little swollen. They say it can't be from the rash. I'm calling again Monday and keeping my antihistamine close.

My kids say my whole disease process would make a couple of good episodes on HOUSE. I am beginning to think the same. Maybe HOUSE could figure all of me out. I think I best be happy with slow improvements and hope for no side issues.

I am happy today for the sunshine. A beautiful fall day.
