Treating the Symptoms

I didn’t have a good morning. I woke up weak, shaky, and with a headache. I don’t like being sick at this point in my life. When I was a kid being sick meant I got to stay home from school. But nowadays it doesn’t prevent the need to power through it and take care of my own kids. So I had a Vanilla Coke first thing in the morning for the sugar and caffeine. That helped with the headache which unfortunately is indicative of addiction. I had a Naproxen PM because the PM part of it is generic Benadryl. That helped with the shakiness. I ate and that helped with the weakness. But I only treated the symptoms without ever discovering the cause.

  1. Hmmmm…. sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. I’m trying to get my weight down, but vanilla coke helps me keep my migraine pain at bay… sometimes it’s the lessor of two evils. Hope you feel better soon, Linda x

    1. The past few days have been better for me but harder for my wife. It’s always good when we can pick up the slack for one another. We have been together for twenty six years because we work well together.

      1. I’m nearly 20 years married, and teamwork is the only way to work through it all – give and take… share the load… the tide goes in and the tide goes out…

        Life’s not always easy, but it is a whole lot easier when you have someone in your corner! Yay you two! xx
