Very Strange Night

Last night something very strange happened. I went to bed and I took my pills as usual, and I also took some advil because I had cramps. About an hour and a half later I had a headache and still had cramps so I took one tylenol with codeine. Around 3:30 am I woke up and I felt like I was going to vomit. I got out of bed and had trouble with my left foot, the weak one. It was more cramped than usual so it took me longer to get to the bathroom than usual. When I got there I felt sick so I got ready to vomit and sat down beside the toilet and then I got the feeling in my ears that comes before I pass out. I put my head between my legs for a few moments and decided I didn't want to pass out on bathroom floor so I made my way back to my bed. My head was swirling and my stomach was swirling and my heart was racing. This went on for what seemed like forever, but was reaqlly only a few minutes. I was completely soaked in sweat by the time my head felt better. I went back to the bathroom and though I did't get sick at all, I used the bathroom and then went back to bed. It took me a long time to get back to sleep. My stomach still hasn't quite recovered. I am asuming it was from the codeine, though I probably should have called the doc and asked, I just didn't want to have to go in because my visits that used to be free now I think have a co-pay. I was so scared last night at one point I almost dialed 911. Luckily I got through it and didn't pass out or get sick at all!

Today I spent a couple hours online looking up stuff on what might have happened last night and also gathering info for a cause I started on Facebook. Its pretty cool, I already have almost 20 members and I just started it yesterday! Just trying to spread awareness! I also went grocery shopping and over to a friend's house.

My friend called me this morning. She needed a favor and had a Christmas present for me that she was never able to give to me, I haven't seen her in a couple months! She wanted to borrow the Pedi-Cure kit I bought. My cat won't let me use it on her and her friend has a dog and if the dog lets her use it on him she will buy it from me. And my Christmas present was a gift card to my favorite movie theater! Yay! There are some movies coming out I want to see and now I can afford it.

I'm beginning to feel nauseous again so time to lay down. I hope I feel better tomorrow, I am supposed to go dancing and then have a day of movies and games on Sunday!

Oh my! Maybe it was a mixture of meds but that is awfully scary. Call the dr if it happens again and mention at your next appt. I'm worried about you now!

Our dogs wouldn't let us use the pedi paw thing on them either. Scared of the noise.
