Gosh, I've been staying home recovering from some nasty depression since September. Panic attacks, sleeplessness, confusion, the whole works. I'm taking Paxil and something to ease the side effects, and a sleeping aid before bed.
I finally get to the point that a week ago Monday my doctor says, "You seem to be about 90% better, I think you can start driving a car a litttle, and we can think about getting you back to work."
I was so thrilled!
But that same morning, before I went to see him, I noticed a blank spot in my left eye. So after I saw the psychiatrist, I went to the eye doctor. Turns out that I have an artery that has detached from my retina (and cusing the blank spot), it should heal, if not, surgery should fix it. Take two pills after each meal. So a week goes by and I'm taking all my meds and doing my best to do nothing to make it worse. I went to see an asian medicine shiatsu guy on Monday morning and the eye doctor again on in the afternoon. She said I'm pretty much out of danger, just no soccer and no jogging for a while, and have some more pills. See you in two weeks. That's cool.
So I woke up Tuesday morning to see the psch dude, and I've broken out in hives!
Dr. Takamatsu (psych) suggest a nearby dermatologist. He says the hives are caused by the stress of everything else wrong with me. Rest and here's some antihistamines to take twice a day.
So the pictur up top is my dessert after dinner, yum...
