Feeling better this morning

Wow. For the first time in days, I'm feeling semi-decent this morning. I can breathe. I slept through the night. I'm not groggy. I can actually walk around without getting winded. I can stand up without getting dizzy. I don't feel so bloated.

What's changed?

24 hours ago, I stopped taking the Carvedilol.

I think our culprit has been found!

And it's been 4 days off the Lithium as well, right? But coming off the Lithium didn't reduce symptoms? (Just trying to get your facts right.)

Correct. I didn't notice any lessening of symptoms until now, that I am off the Carvedilol.

I concede that it is possible that there were lithium symptoms, and they took four days to noticeably reduce, meaning that going off the carvedilol may be coincidental.

But Occam's Razor suggests it's the carvedilol.

Hagrid, I'm happy to hear that there's a break in that (health) storm for you, and I hope you'll be feeling better for a while now.

BTW, drop me a line soon - a Bellingham tour stop might still be possible next month.
