I've had a weird day. I took some Ibuprofen PM last night and finally went to sleep. The problem was then that I couldn't wake up this morning. When I did wake up I knew right away that I wasn't fit to drive. Shaun had already gone to work and it was probably for the best. I didn't feel very functional. I woke up at 4:15 this afternoon and have managed to stay awake - though I'm still slightly drowsy. I also cannot feel my face, but it looks normal so I'm not freaking out.
While I was awake last night I Googled "burning stomach and nausea" and came across Dypepsia. Everyone keeps telling me that I have acid reflux and all that, but it didn't quite fit. Dypepsia does more so than anything else. I am not diagnosing myself here, but easy, non-medicinal ways to treat it are to cut back on acidic foods / beverages (coffee) and Ibuprofen. I've taken Ibuprofen for years as my go-to headache med so I will switch to Tylenol and cut wayyy back on the coffee (which is a pretty recent habit). There were other ways to treat it, but they don't apply to me so I'm not listing them. I'm going to see if eliminating that stuff helps me at all. If it does, then great; and if not, I'll see a doctor.
Anyway, I'm home. I desperately did not need to miss a day of work, but it happened and I'll manage. I might go work on some more jewelry in a few minutes. I think I've got most of my orders done. Pictures soon. 🙂
