It also pushed up the level of cyclosporine in my blood, way up, so the clinic doctor called a little bit ago to say the blood culture shows a bad UTI that only IV antibiotics will fight. I.e. hospital. No. We will fight this with d-Mannose, which has worked before. The women know about this. The doctors don't.
So I thought, why not do this publicly? Isn't this the best thing about social media that you can use it to tell on Big Brother? Initial research tells me that many credentialed people think this is a very bad drug, useless in many cases, and the most profitable in the history of Big Pharm. I found a study that gave people co-enzyme Q-10, so Tom is doing some research to find a good brand and will go out to get that.
11:00 am
My feet and legs feel ice cold about 1/3 way up the calf, about halfway up the tight calf.
Very swollen.
I've had two or is it three helpless crying fits this morning. I feel confused.
I awoke early, maybe 6:30' so got about 5 hrs sleep.
Of course my stomach is very upset. Had cream of wheat for breakfast.
I also have large patches of cold (neuropathy) on my back, right side, and right arm
Talked to nurse this morning who thought yes, this is a reaction to statin, and thinks the worst of it should be over in a week. Sounds like heroin withdrawal.
11:25 acid reflux
Made it to bedroom. Very short of breath, and right foot very painful to step on already. It had felt not so bad when I got up. Dr. Dapore had said keep it elevated, ice 20 on, 20 off. I'm using my phone as a timer.
I feel miserable.

Later
Stomach still upset. A pain pill has not made the legs feel better, but did lift my spirits some.
I'm doing this from my iPad in bed, which is much better than not having an iPad, but is cranky, and I can't get the picture function to work so I will just have to post pix of my swollen feet on Facebook. I can send them directly there from my phone.
