antibiotic

Yesterday morning Pam and I started our "twice a day for 7 days" antibiotic pills- Doxycycline.

We left the house and carpooled to work. Stopped at Jamba Juice to get some breakfast. While I waited for my smoothie all of a sudden I was hit with nausea. Bad. I was looking around the store wondering where I'd go if I had to puke. Then they called my name and I got my drink and I walked out to the car. I wanted so badly to throw it away because the thought of eating was making me feel sicker. I sat down and waited for Pam who was in Starbucks. I ate a few bites of my pretzel but was feeling so terrible. Pam got to the car and I told her how I was feeling. Sat there for about 20 minutes and finally asked her to drive me back home. Called work and said I couldn't come in.

It was terrible! The pills directions said to take without food, but forget that! I had an appointment at the clinic for an ultrasound to check out the myterious cramps I've been having, and when I told them how sick the antibiotic made me they said to take it with a modest meal of bread or crackers. So for dinner Pam and I ate a huge meal and then took the pills and were fine. Same with breakfast this morning.

So far so good.

The ultrasound came out normal. Everything looked fine, and they basically said it's just a mysterious case of stomach pains. Typical for me! Doctors never seem to be able to diagnose me.

We moved into a new apartment this last weekend and today we finally have internet and cable! Amazing how lost we were without it. :)
