The mornings are still a little rough. We are thinking that maybe my new drug is causing some of my stomach problems. Although I am still experiencing the drowsiness from the aldomet, it is improving and definately not as difficult as it was in the beginning. I don't feel that I have reached full therapeutic range as my blood pressure has yet to drop. I have noticed that my run away adrenal responses have significantly decreased. (Not counting the 24 hours where I almost killed myself with the allergy pill!!!) When the phone rings or when I hear a loud noise, my startle reflex does not send my heart rate over the top for two hours. My anxiety is much more normal for the day-to-day circumstance of life.

I feel myself doing better in confrontation like situations. While I am still not like my old self, I have noticed an improvement.

Dan asked today if I noticed any improvements. He is seeing the unfortunate side effects of the drug and it is hard for him to see me go through them. So, even though he cannot actively see the improvements he is willing to hang in there with me. But, the mornings are rough and painful.
