I've tried all the things that had a good chance of helping my foot problems. Now I'm trying the extreme long shots. This month it's a medication for neuropathic pain. First dose was this morning.

I am dizzy and queasy. I can't tell whether I'm too hot or too cold. My hands are a little shaky. None of this is severe, but it all adds up to Unpleasant. Why, oh why, did I take my first dose of this thing on a day I had this much work to do?

Wow, I didn't even get to POST this. That was quick. I'm back from the restroom now. I think I feel better.

I'll try to push through it only long enough to find out if it's doing a good job of relieving my pain. This is one of those build-up-over-days kinds of things. We'll see.

Today I ate first and took the pill right after my bowl of oatmeal. If the timing works out the same as yesterday, I'll keep breakfast and lose lunch. :-) (That's a win. Yesterday I lost breakfast and couldn't eat lunch, so I think I kept about 450 calories, all told. Today I hope to keep breakfast *and* eat some dinner.)
