Blogging from Bed

After 2 days SVT-free, its kicking me hard tonight. With the doctor's permission, since I was feeling better, I could start trying to wean off the toprol since the side effects are a bit awful, although not as bad as having SVT all day long. Yesterday, I took 50mg in the morning and 75mg in the evening and it worked great. This morning, I took 50mg again in the morning, but then decreased to 50mg this evening. I really didn't think much of it, but as I sat to watch a movie with the boys, I started having trouble breathing and could not catch my breath at all. I went to brush my teeth and it made my hands go numb! I'm sooo frustrated tonight because I've just started to feel better and this is a step backward! It seems like the only thing that keeps SVT away and stops it is the medicine. So, I took anothe 50mg tonight and am praying that it will soon kick in, give me my headache back and let me breathe. I'm sooo worn out already. Please pray for me that this will subside quickly. I've learned my lesson- no lowering on the meds.... For now. Patience is NOT a virtue I possess much of.
