Rough start to the week with hope at the end.

I did not have headache when I woke up, but I do feel very odd this morning. I have some pain in my left temple but only at a 2. I feel wobbly on my feet and I am having trouble concentrating and remembering things. There seems to be a delay in my memory recall, almost like somebody hits a pause button when I go to do something. I took some cold medicine all day yesterday and then last night before bed. I took my night medication (Lyrica 9:10pm) on time and I took my morning medication on time today (Cymbalta 6:20am). I did Scott’s nose backwards this morning which is very odd for me since I am so routine oriented. I am having issues multitasking. I went home from work at 11:00AM. My issues with vision and my mind working were getting worse. I went to the Dr Yacoub’s office at 2:30pm. I was still having problems with balance, dizziness, and thinking and vision blurriness. I had blood drawn and had a strep test. I was put on Levaquin 250mg, I took it after dinner at 6:30pm and I am going to start weaning off of the Cymbalta. I took my night medication (Lyrica 9:00pm) on time and took some night time cold medicine and went to bed.

I woke up at a little before 5am. I am mostly back to normal. I have a cough now and I have a headache at about a 2 on my right side which has been pretty normal for me in the last several weeks. I took my morning medication (Cymbalta 6:00am) on time but only took 30mg instead of the 60mg that I have been taking. It is so odd to go from not being able to function to feeling mostly normal in less than 24 hours. It is also odd to say that normal is a headache and coughing crap up. We have a minor league baseball game today that we go to every year for work. I will see how that goes. I went to the game. It was extremely warm with no shade. I had a headache at a 2 the whole time it got worse once we got back in the truck. I did have some nausea but that can be related to hotdogs and hamburgers and the heat. I took a muscle relaxer when we got home and went to bed. I took my night medication (Lyrica 9:00pm) on time and went back to bed. I still had a headache when I went back to bed.
