Day 09- Something you’re proud of in the past few days
I am very proud of how I got the doctors to listen to me that something was going wrong with the Lyrica I was taking. As things got worse I was thinking I was sick again. It turns out the medication itself was actually making me sick. I knew I wasn't feeling well, but it seemed that I couldn't explain HOW until I got sick enough I started having additional symptoms. By then I knew I could be in trouble. I'm glad I kept at it until we got a doctor to agree I needed to go off the medication. I'm afraid in the long run this situation could have had a very devastating effect.

Good thing you feel so in tune with your body that you listened - and then made others listen too.
Good for you!
Important to make people listen. You did great! And if they ever mess you up again, you could even list out your blog posts which contain the symptoms and the dates. Good for you Karen, can't have people dictating our health and symptoms.
Good for you - only you really know your body and what its doing.
Thank you for your kind words on my blog - we had a bit of a backwards step today but hopefully its smoother sailing from here.
Hope you're moving towards smoother sailing with your health also
Hugs, Fi
Thanks ladies. It's been a bit rough getting off the medication, but in the long run it will all work out. I may not be on-line as much in the next couple of days as I adjust to feeling like I've been run over by a bus!
