My appetite is low, which is not all that bad. I’m guarded about what I eat, choosing bland foods to avoid indigestion. I am now very constipated, probably from the meds. Will buy some over the counter meds later today.
Saturday night I waited until bedtime before taking the Promethazine and had some nausea for the first hour. After the nausea subsided, I slept through the night. Got up around 8:30 Sunday, and by 12:45 I developed a headache across the center of my forehead. It got worse in the afternoon, so I took a Norco and a Promethazine and took a nap. I awoke at 5:45 with the headache, but not like before, more of a constant pressure. I had the headache all evening and into the night. I can’t help but think it’s the half dose of Diamox.
Sunday night was pretty tough, had very bad nausea. Could not find comfort regardless the position, so I just watched the clock until around 3:00, and then fell asleep until 9:30. When I woke up I was very disoriented and was loosing my balance. Took me about an hour to get out of the house, but decided I better get to work.
Once at work, I just couldn’t concentrate on anything, found myself bouncing from project to project, not getting much done. Still having balance issues as well. I left work at 3:00, just couldn’t stay focused.
I went back to a full dose of Diamox on Monday, thinking if the headaches go away, then I’ll know its pressure caused by the tumor.
It’s now Tuesday morning, and I decided to stay home today. I slept pretty well last night, did not take any Norco, but did take the Promethazine. I awoke a few times; mainly when I changed positions in bed, my stomach was on fire. I keep water by my bed and a drink would always help.
I find myself very lethargic, which is not the way I would have ever describe myself before the meds!
