What a week!!!

I should update more regularly so that when I tell you about why its been such a horrid week things might make more sense.

There is a lot I haven't told you but to enable you to get your head round this, important facts are -
  1. My dosage of Gabapentin has been put up to 600mg per day, it was previously 300mg per day.
  2. I am now dieting and hope to do well as my New Year resolution of giving up chocolate (except on Easter Sunday) is still intact.

So it all kind of started on Tuesday night, it was a cold night and I didnt get a lot of sleep. I felt agitated and this co-incided with my dose of Gabapentin being increased. Basically, the doctor said that although I had been on it for a month with no results, I also had no side effects so upping the dose may start to help my numb hands and hopefully the "no side effects" would continue.

Well he was wrong!!! On Wednesday I woke up feeling like I could deck someone!!! I didnt know how I managed to make it through the day but I did. I was a close to a foul mood as I get so when I got home, I just went to bed and kept out of everyones way. I felt exhausted but had a very restless sleep.

I woke on Thursday, not in the mood to deck someone but really lethargic due to the troubled night!!! Again, God knows how I got through the day but again I came home and this time opted for an earlier night than usual with a couple of Syndol to floor me!!!

Woke up this morning, just about!!! I felt drugged, my head was light and my balance on my left side was all over the place.

Luckily, I have worked from home today and made it through OK. I feel tired but tonight I think will be a normal night and I wont have any trouble sleeping.

I think the increased dose of Gabapentin is too much so I am taking 300mg a day and slowly working my way up to 600mg. I think I just jumped too soon.

And just for the record, the drug is having no positive effect on my numbness so is this all for nothing I wonder?

New post....

That's the button you have to press to add a blog entry, "new post".

Sorry there have been no updates for a short time, basically my PC gave in and £350.00 later I have a new HP DX2450 for my sins and I am back up and running.

We do have more than 1 PC in the house, I also have my laptop but I enjoy doing blog entries on my main PC. If I use my laptop then it means its usually very late at night/early in the morning and I am awake and troubled!!!

So a few new posts need to be added about weight, drugs, blood pressure and stuff so I will get back up to date shortly.

Just as another point, my new PC came pre loaded with Windows XP and a Vista disk also. I chose to clean install Vista. I am now a full Vista bitch!!!

I have very few issues with it, in fact, it does a fair few tasks much better and I think that the reason why so many people hate Vista is due to its default settings that on a slower computer would eat up resource. It really is just a case of switching this all off and your PC flies like an XP dream machine.

Ultimately, Microsoft have announced that "Windows 7" will be born out of the Vista interface so it is a case of moving with times or else you get left behind!!!

Sod off Keane!!!

Apparently I am the only one who sees that Robbie Keane has been a complete and utter waste of resources at Liverpool FC and since about the end of September I have been on his back.

Well I was proven right to be that way because if someone else comes onto me with the fact that he was never given a chance and that he is such a good team player then I will be sick.

This is a man soooo out of his depth in a red shirt and now all the rose tinted people will go on about how hard done by he has been while I sit here recalling the amount of games not killed off because of his lack of skill in front of goal.

Go back to where you came from and take this as a lesson in never to sign for a club above your skill-set.

You have been a waste of time Robbie and while I wish you every success in your new (old) club, I also dont have a good word to say about your time at my club.

Sod off!!!
