Monday, I was told that the tissdues looked healed in my nose. I explained that I was still not breathing freely. We decided to discontinue Claritin (because it causes a higher production of mucus) and to begin nasal steroids - to shrink the tissues behind the nose.
I think it is starting to work.
I had 2 doctor's appointments Monday, went to work for 2 hours, went shopping, and did multiple chores at home as well as paid my bills online.
Tuesday, I was in very bad shape. I had an anxiety attack and diarhea. All I did was sleep all day. I forced myself to get up a few times, but all I could manage to do was watch shows. I couldn't even play games. I was totally wiped out. It hurt my abdomen to sit up for 90 minutes to watch a movie. The anxiety I experienced was different. In my mind - I was not anxious. I had hope that changing the meds would improve my breathing, and my health would get better. It took me hours to figure out that my physical symptoms were anxiety.
It is Wednesday. I am doing better. No signs of anxiety. I built a website for Emily today. It is not available online - she needs to provide me with some text and images before I can upload it. It took me all day to make it. I would work an hour, then have to rest for an hour. I got a bad headache. IMHO, it took me 10 times longer than it should have if I was wealthy. The most disturbing thing was early on - I had a programming error - a simple one, a missing bracket. It took me 2 hours to figure out what was wrong, and it was something I normally would see right away, at the instant I make the error or shortly thereafter.
So I probably am not ready to go back to work. What I did today was easier and more fun than what I do at work.
We are going to do another sleep study soon.
