oops - a meds update
As expected, I forgot to record my symptoms regularly. Fortunately, they've been fairly consistent since Wednesday.
I experienced some of the worst trouble sleeping in many years on Wednesday night, and essentially got no sleep at all. I experienced chills/tingles the entire night, and my mind would not shut off. My fitbit says I slept for a total of 3 hours (out of 8). I did switch to taking my them in the morning on my next dose, which was on Friday, and I have not had nearly as much trouble falling or staying asleep since then.
Observations:
- I've been running colder than usual - around 96.1-96.3F (my usual is closer to 97F.)
- I'm noticing that if I don't eat regularly my stomach hurts a little and I feel nauseous. I haven't taken them without food yet.
- It appears that I am sleeping less than usual, and my REM sleep is impacted quite a bit. Hopefully this evens out as I get used to the dosage.
- My resting heart rate has bumped up a bit, according to my Fitbit. I was consistently around 65 bpm before Wednesday and now I'm closer to 70 bpm. However, I also haven't been going on daily walks lately so.. we'll see if this changes when I get back to those.
