Yesterday, after spending 2 1/2 hours moving woodchips from a giant pile in the driveway into the plant beds, I thought for sure I’d sleep like a rock. No such luck. As soon as I laid down, the pulse started pounding in my neck and head, and moments after I’d drift off, I’d startle awake, and the pounding heartbeat was super fast, to boot. The day has been pretty sucky because of it, and I went onto the internet trying to get some ideas. My thyroid’s OK, maybe potassium needed a boost, so I took some of those. Later on, it occurred to me that – wait a second – potassium isn’t the only supplement I’ve been missing. The Cipro I’m taking for the ear infection says not to take vitamins within 6 hours of the antibiotic, so I haven’t been taking anything – including the B complex I take because I don’t eat meat. So I took one halfway between cipro doses and we’ll see what happens. Until it kicks in, well, my head and neck will feel like they’re about to explode and there’s not much to do about it.
