I’m fine BTW

Some folks wanted an update and didn’t see the webmention-based updates on the last entry. I discontinued the Effexor and the concerning symptoms subsided throughout the day, and I only had minimal withdrawal symptoms (basically just a few hours of extreme nausea and some really intense dreams for a couple nights).

I’m annoyed that this didn’t end up being a workable solution but I’m still holding out hope for the vestibular rehabilitation, as well as some other things I’m trying, and whatever happens I’m determined to survive and thrive, regardless.

Also some folks said that I should have gone to the ER given the symptoms I was experiencing. If they had gotten any worse I would have, but the severity I was experiencing wasn’t any worse than what happens when I eat a food that I have a quasi-allergic sensitivity to. It was mostly just uncomfortable.

On that note I also should see an allergist about my food sensitivities, although I’ve done an IgE test which said I don’t have an IgE sensitivity to those foods. I probably just have MCAS or something. My body certainly is a wonderland. Sigh.
