Still Woozy

I don’t have the medical sources to back me up but I’m still feeling woozy, dizzy and weak since my Colonoscopy on Monday. Since I have Myasthenia Gravis, I’m assuming that it’s taking me a longer time than it would people without it and my other health issues to recover.

My mother in law who is a Registered Nurse said that it may take me longer for my body to recover from the anesthesia. That makes sense since any type of anesthesia is on the list of things that can exacerbate my condition.

That list is sooo long. There’s things on there you wouldn’t believe, like magnesium (I had to drink 10 oz of Magnesium Citrate for my prep, so that may even have added to me feeling awful), quinine water, lots of antibiotics and even Lidocaine. Yup, I got my IV with out the numbing juice. I’m used to that. I used to get IVs every week for anemia.

It’s funny how your life changes when you have a chronic illness. I used to dread IV’s. Now they’re nothing to me. Getting a blood test is even easier. I get them so often I don’t even feel them. And my B12 shots and Humira shots don’t hurt either (well the Humira still stings a bit). But those things that used to be such a huge issue are nothing to me now.

Well I’m off to bed. I really need some sleep. I’m hoping I feel better tomorrow. I’m sick and tired of feeling so yucky.
