When I went to the GI specialist last week, she gave me a prescription for hyoscyamine. I sent Ben to get it filled for me, while I was nauseous on the couch. I wasn't sure exactly how I was supposed to use it, so I called the office. The nurse called back and said I should take it every 6 hours on days I have symptoms, and to taper off.
I'm supposed to meet Erin for lunch at Med Deli (the owner is doing a Pakistan relief event, like the one he did for Haiti earlier this year, and he's donating all his profits for the day to flood relief), but the meds say not to drive after I take it. I thought I could wait until later, but I'm thinking I should take one sooner.
So I'm taking it every 6 hours starting today, and hoping I wake up normal tomorrow. If this works, I'll keep taking it during the con. I won't be able to drink alcohol at all (it potentiates the CNS depression and could kill me), but I'd rather be well and not drinking than sick.
The thought of food still isn't particularly appealing, though.
Also, Isis peed in the bed while I was in the bathroom at 5:45 this morning, so I didn't get nearly enough sleep.
