since hospital stay

Since I was in the hospital last week, I continue to have a cough. It's a small productive cough every 5-10 minutes. It's not terribly troublesome except that I sing in a men's coir that is recording a CD this Saturday. Coughing while we record would be a problem.

The strange spreading parasthesia problem from last week has subsided and all but disappeared.

I continue taking the course of Levaquin, the antibiotic I am on for the sinus infection. I have about a week left.

I saw Dr. Abraham on Wednesday about 3 symptoms: the ringing in my ears, my nausea which has been ongoing for a month or so, and the cough. He said the ringing in my ears might come and go on its own and call back in a month if I still have it. He also said the cough was from my sinus draining. He had no good ideas about what was causing the nausea, but prescribed 2 medications to combat it. One was Zantac, twice a day, the other had in interaction with Lyrica, which I started (in addition to Remeron) for treatment of depression instead of Wellbutrin and Trazadone. My nausea has decreased to a point where I can eat full meals now, though my weight is still decreasing. I am at 137.4 this morning, the lowest I have been in many years. I will continue to watch my weight closely, but eating full meals should help considerably.

If my nausea stays down, I will add NATTO-K back into my plan.

I still haven't seen the Winstrol (Stanozolol) I ordered. I will continue checking on it and start taking it when it comes in.
