Message 978

Yesterday afternoon I watched the Sharks shut out Washington 2-0. Again Couture scored the first goal. The game started at 4 PM PST because it was another road game. Joshua came over after work and watched the second and third periods with me. After the game I watched a DVD of the movie Nadine with Jeff Bridges and Kim Bassinger. It was a comedy, thriller, farce. Johs decided it was not worth watching, so he went home after the game, but I give it three stars.

I threw up again about noon yesterday. Joshua suggested that it might be the medicine that I take in the evening for my prostate. It dawned on me that he might be right, so I skipped my pill last night, and today I feel much better. The medicine is called Tamsulosin HCL. If it is the cause of my nausea, it explains why I feel sick in the mornings and better by bedtime. I take the pill half an hour after my evening meal, but the side effects do not kick in for a few hours. I have tried stopping this medication before, but after a few days I notice that I have trouble urinating, so I start it up again. Maybe I can start a routine of taking it only once a week instead of every day. Unlike other drug allergies I have discovered, in particular Cipro and Sulfa drugs, Tamsulosin HCL does not give me a rash. I will keep you posted on how this works out.
