Yup. And here's the list...
Prograf: decreased kidney function, tremors, shakiness, headaches,
high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high potassium, high magnesium
Cellcept: diarrhea, constipation (which one is it, man?), nausea,
vomiting
Valcyte: anemia, decrease in white blood cell count, decrease in
platelet count, nausea
Amlodipine: nausea, fatigue, weakness, stomach pain, muscle cramps,
headaches, flushing
Metoprolol: drowsiness, lightheadedness, dizziness, weakness
Lipitor: dizziness, headaches, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, gas,
stomach upset/pain
I don't have a listing of side effects from the Nexium or Aspirin.
But overall, at least none of these have the risk of sudden death,
instantaneous scrotum deterioration, sudden bone growths, or a
complete reversal of atomic charges, resulting in implosion. I
should consider myself lucky. ;P
The only side effects I'm really experiencing, though, is shakiness
and fatigue, which I chalk up to having gone through such a surgery.
I've been able to jam on the drum set, hard, for an hour (I do that
once a day as therapy), and I can walk 1.5 miles no problem. It's
just aggravating that everything has to be done in baby steps. I'm
used to just pushing myself and _making_ things happen. Now I just
have to let them occur on their own. :/
Man, this shit is really off-topic. I wish I had a scanner on this
machine so I could post some art or something. I _have_ been working
on the websites, though. Just about done transcribing an audio tape
recording Des and I did a few months back. It's an updated FAQ's
agenda, with extra questions. I used an old microcassete recorder my
family and I used to send audio letters to my brother when he was
stationed in Korea many years ago. Now I'm having to write down all
the stuff she and I are saying (and editing out a lot of unnecessary
banter). Still informative, but it's got a bit more humor in it now.
