I haven't been feeling well lately. Like my mom used to say "I don't know who I am but I am not feeling myself". I'm pretty sure it's got something to do with the new medications that I'm on. At least I hope that is what it is.
I finally called my doctor yesterday and gave him all of my complaints. Very tired, muscle aches, jelly legs, zoning out and generally not feeling right. We are changing up my meds to see if we can figure it all out. We are thinking that the muscle weakness and pains are due to the Zocor and the zoning out and general weirdness is from too much Lisinopril.
Starting today I am cutting the Lisinopril in half and I'm off the Zocor completely. I will continue this for two weeks and then reintroduce the Zocor and see how I feel. Hopefully I will feeling like my old self very soon.
I'm also worried about Rigby. He seems to have developed a bit of a limp. It's his driver side rear. It's more pronounced when he is on the bed. He doesn't seem to be in any pain but I see the leg being held up when he gets up to get off the bed. He is much better on the hard floor but of course, he won't stay there. He's a bed dog. My vet retired so I don't even have a good vet to take him to not to mention the money issues. I don't think I could take it again. Not another sick dog so soon. I'm still not over Mac.

Change or reduce your meds, and if you don't feel like you're getting back to yourself, eliminate them all together. Trust me, medications can and will change your entire perspective on life. Sometimes in a good way, but more often than not, not in a way that was intended. Been there, done that.
I know your pain with Rigby. Does he jump in and out of bed himself? It's possible that he's strained his back or leg if he does. We should talk about this, but in person.
I know your pain about Mac. I don't think we ever get over our losses. As Cosmos is failing, I am reliving each and every dog I lost in the past too.
Love,
Laura
