I think you may enjoy even more of an upswing in health after this.

Sending good thoughts and prayers!
Thank you so much for the positive thoughts.

I think what depresses me is that the first doctors thoroughly screwed this up and missed or ignored important signs. Lost test results, didn't listen to my concerns. Didn't believe what I told them.

I do believe there is something electrical wrong with my heart. I had a full cup of chamomile tea last night and was only slightly sleepy today. In fact, taking an afternoon nap is usual these days. Before the surgery/procedure, Chamomile would knock me out and make me drowsy the whole next day. When I first took the non-drowsy version of Zyrtec, Zyxal, I slept for almost two days. I would get up for a bit but slept most of Saturday and a good bit of Sunday, continuing to take the Zyxal morning and evening until I adjusted. Took Benadryl recently with little drowsiness. I always thought there was something wrong and told my doctors and I will continue this line until they listen. I think they can learn something from this.

Let's hope for positive outcomes from this next study and that I can continue to feel better and resume my life.

Thanks again for the positive thoughts Candace.
