Happy (belated) Birthday to me!
Wednesday was my birthday, and yes, I had a happy birthday. Juno and D were able to spend the day with me. I got some great presents (books, movies and minis). I ate great food, cooked by my wonderful wife. I otherwise spent the day resting, watching my new movies and generally having a good day.
The rest of the week was interesting. As I mentioned last week, my first attempt at anti-depressants had some less-than-fun side effects - jittery morning, bad fatigue and mild insomnia. So, my doctor decided to put me something else. Out of an abundance of caution I decided to wait until after my birthday before trying Something Else. This was wise.
Guess what the guy with chronic fatigue, migraines and constant mild vertigo due to destroyed inner ear doesn't think are good side effects to get? Exhaustion, head-aches and vertigo. Guess what the immediate side effects of the new meds are? Can you guess? I'll give you three hints.
Maybe the third attempt will work. Or maybe I can't medicate my way out of my current emotional turmoil. After all, I have very valid emotional reasons for being a basket case right now. Fortunately, I have a wonderful wife and a great kid (who isn't actually a kid anymore), who love me and support me.
I got this. (touch wood)
After all, I had a happy birthday.
Onward.
