I took an Ambien Thursday night and slept well, actually, I slept about 20 hours. Not nonstop, but I was groggy all day Friday. I did feel much better, though. Today I have a nagging headache that seems to be a little worse now. It could be the blood pressure up to high so I will check that and take an Imitrex.

Yesterday I suffered from a terrible headache. My blood pressure spiked to 200/110. I called my husband home from work and he took me to urgent care.

The doctor said probably I had a lot going on regarding RHS but that I also had a sinus infection. I came home with Amoxicillin for the next 10 days. I have felt better today but my eyes itch pretty badly and my ears are ringing very loudly. I'm having insomnia tonight also.

After posting my poor oh me blog Saturday I went to take a shower and found blisters on the inside of each forearm. A few on my neck. I nearly freaked out. They are going away but I have had a headache and fluttering in my ears.

Today is not a good day. I am aching all over. It feels as though my muscles have a fever.

I am trying to keep myself hydrated. Sometimes that seems to help.

It's been a while since I posted an update on my diary and now that we've got a spangly new blog system I've got no excuses. I can now post live updates from anywhere in the world!

We've been working on this like crazy over the past few weeks and finally it's at a stage where is usable so it has gone live :) It's not quite finished yet so there's a link to the old site whilst we finish adding the content and other cool stuff. Sorry for all the messing about but it'll be worth the wait... I promise!

Hubby: "Hello all, Just got a call from her and they have decided she has been there long enough and are letting her come home - it is about time! Gads, I am running out of clothes and dishes and the refrigerator is nearly empty. (Actually, I did four loads of laundry on Tuesday and the dishes are all clean, I am really not as helpless as you might expect!) Needless to say she is looking forward to sleeping in her own bed with nobody sticking a thermometer in her mouth every four hours, etc."

Hubby: "Hello all, Just talked to her and she said if her temperature stays down she will be "released" tomorrow."

My sleep wasn't very restful last night, because our new roommate was having weird reactions to her meds. She was hallucinating, and thought she saw a man outside the window walking past. We were on the fifth floor! They drew the curtains around her bed and that helped for couple of hours. Then she was convinced she had to get up and use the bathroom. When she swung her legs over the edge of the bed, her bed alarm would go off and wake us all up! They tried to tell her she had a Foley catheter and didn't need to get up. A short while later, she'd get up again.

Hubby: "Morning all, I found out why she did not call me back - she fell asleep! MRI still scheduled for this morning. They have her on an IV antibiotic. I suspect she will be released once they have the MRI results and confirm the diagnosis. As of yet they have not given her an anti-inflammatory or steroid to treat the nerve inflammation, waiting to make sure it is Bell's or Ramsay Hunt. She said she slept all day yesterday, all last evening and all night!"

This has been quite a day! I woke up in the wee hours, about 1:30 A.M., and headed down the hall to the bathroom. My right eye was sore and something felt strange about my upper lip, so I turned on the light, looked in the mirror, and got the shock of my life! I looked like I had put on my Halloween mask early! Facial palsy was well advanced at this point: my eyelid hardly moved at all, the corner of my mouth drooped dramatically, and even my nose was crooked.
