This is my first time commenting, but I have to mention my experience with one of those medications. I was recently prescribed tamsulosin (Flomax) to aid in passing several kidney stones. I was not given a time of day to take the pill, so I took one at bedtime. WRONG! I was unable to sleep and felt miserable after taking it, actually worse than the discomfort from the kidney stone. One of the listed side effects is dizziness, but insomnia is worse to me. I recommend inquiring as to their reason for bedtime dosing on each night, as I presume you’d like to sleep on those nights.
I’m praying for you and hope that all goes well with your surgery. (Also, I’m one of the many who discovered your previous blog via AOL.)
Thank you for the head’s up … I will do a bit of research. And prayers are always appreciated.
I had spine surgery in April, and while my pre-surgical meds and instructions weren’t quite as involved, I was equally confused. I developed a very close relationship with one particular pharmacist at my drugstore of choice, and at one point I took all my paperwork and drugs to her and she helped me figure it out – even discovering a potential bad interaction. I even know what days she works and she doesn’t think I’m stalking. Pharmacists freaking rock, I hope you have a good one.
All that aside, I’ve been reading your blog for years (having a disabled daughter myself) and was thrilled then dismayed when you popped back up in my reader. I’ve been sending good thoughts your way as you deal with all of this, and I appreciate how open you’re being about your treatment. It will surely help someone else who is going through the same thing.
