Yeah, emojis can help. Sorry if I seemed to overreact. Sore point for me. I still think about finding the poisoner and ending him.
Yikes! So glad your dogs survived. I had a very sweet cat who caught a mouse that had gotten into rat poison. We didn't know what was wrong with the cat, took him in and got a call later that the cat just started bleeding out and they couldn't save him. We don't use rat poison anymore because of that. My cats do a pretty good job catching the mice and rats they can get to.

That reminds me of how ignorant/stupid some people can be. Made me think of an online friend (I only added her as a friend back when I was playing facebook games and needed to 'friend' people to get more 'neighbors' in the games to help out). She "informed" me that "cats don't hunt rats". I think she was in her late teens early 20s. She went on about how rats were too big and cats wouldn't go after them, etc. I then sent her articles about sailors using cats to hunt rats on ships. I also sent her a photo of the large rats my 5lb cat caught. Cats will hunt rabbits and squirrels as well as rats if they can catch them. And that reminded me of the time someone on a forum called me a redacted moron for saying cows (female ones) have horns and that only bulls have horns and that I was incredibly stupid. I responded with a photo of my female cow with horns right next to her newborn calf. Man did that guy get piled on by other people on the forum. They reamed him for being that stupid and for calling me stupid when I knew more about cows than he did.

Meanwhile, I'm still feeling fatigued. I missed my meds one day and had energy and then took them again and felt tired. So I'm wondering if one or more of my meds is giving me fatigue. I'll have to check the side effects of the ones I take to see if any of them have fatigue. If its any one med I might consider not taking it anymore. I'm thinking of dropping the Metformin because even with food it still wrecks my guts and I'm only taking half the dose prescribed (supposed to take it 2x a day but given that 1x a day is wrecking me, I'm not taking it twice). I do take statins so I'm wondering if I should be taking supplements for vitamins they deplete.

Gonna get on googling the side effects after I post this.

Thanks. Right after I posted and went and looked stuff up. My most recent prescription was for Glimepiride which is in the sulfa drug family and should not be taken by people with sulfa drug allergies. Guess that explains the itching and my face getting some redness and slight swelling. I'm going to try CoQ10 to counteract the atorvastatin and see if that helps me any. I've stopped taking Glimepiride and will ask my pharmacy to flag anything with sulfa next time. I'm still feeling tired but it could be from my sleep schedule being out of whack.

The pharmacy should of had that flagged. Good you caught it, Zannej. I'm also allergic to sulfa drugs, but am not diabetic, so probably wouldn't use it. It's not a pretty sight if I take sulfa.
