Medication and Mary Poppins Bags

After a failed attempt at Wellbutrin that knocked me on my butt, I'm finally moving around a bit more. I was so scared and sick that my amazing mom came down to assist my amazing husband in getting me well and stayed for 3 days. She also cleaned my entire house and tackled my mountain of laundry. So thankful for her.

Med Fun:

So far, I've found out that Acebutolol will slow down my marathon heart rate, but will also lower my blood pressure to the point where I can't lift my head. Cool party trick.

I've learned that too much Florinef will give me the headache from hell and raise my blood pressure sky high, but just a bit is a miracle worker.

My blood pressure crashed after taking Midodrine, and the head scratching made me look like a crack addict.

I've moved on to Zoloft (a pediatric amount), and so far no craziness, chest pain, or faster than normal heart rate (PLEASE DON'T LET WRITING THIS JINX THIS!!!).

Also Potassium supplements, ThermoTabs, and salt, salt and more salt. I have a salt shaker in my purse at all times. I would definitely win at any of those parties where you play the "What random things are in your purse" game.

Where do I put all of this medication?
My Mary Poppins Medicine Bag

Remember in the movie when Mary Poppins took a lamp and a full-length mirror out of her purse. It's exactly like that, but filled with never-ending meds and a blood pressure machine.
