So, I totally love the medication commercials, ya know, how you can't control your bladder, but you can have it totally under control if (and here's the kicker) you don't mind a possible side effect of nausea, respiratory problems, vomiting, dizziness, blood clots, stroke, OR even DEATH!! Yes, I totally would rather take the risk of dying and not have to wear adult diapers! And not only are all those risks not worth it, but they purposely pick their fastest speaking actor to read them off! No, I'm serious, if you don't believe me check it out.
So yeah, my morning sickness has been so uncomfortable that I made a last minute appointment today to get some meds. I got put on Phenergran, so I read over the side effects, they read as follows, drowsiness, dry mouth, and energy in younger kids, as well as some unidentified side effects! (WHAT?!!?!?! How are they unidentified?) Anyway, I risk it, and take one, not only does my mouth feel rather dry, it's been 9 hours since I took it and I still feel a little drowsy. I did conk out right after taking it and took a 2 hour nap, and dragged myself around until I could take a second nap, that one was like have a drowsy tired body in a wide awake brain, INSANE!!
So yeah, gonna take a second dose tonight, see if can then wear off by morning, but I have had a little more appetite. Had 4 eggs for dinner, and a couple cookies as well as a glass of milk. And, if I am still tired in the morning I did my home teaching for last month and so they are doing free babysitting tomorrow in the morning, so I can drop the kids off and go home and sleep. We'll see how it goes!! Hopefully I can get the meds worked out so that I can handle them and they'll work all day without too many side effects.
Keep me in your prayers, life is crazy.
