i don't know what mg your Rx was for, but the meclazine you can get over the counter at most any drug store.
we used to take them on long ocean trips to dive sites for motion sickness, called "bonine".
i've had a few ERs give it out for vertigo too. so if you run out, get some at a drug store to keep around the house and in your car. i carry a few with me everyday, for those "just in case days". and yes, these are the sweet chew types.
for bad vertigo relapse times, meclazine was useless. only time and laying down did anything remotely to help
I can't be of much help - you know i am not the rocket scientist here. :-)
But I can talk about catepillars. There are some catepillars that are huge - we get them around here and they are the size of a small cigar sometimes. Google "horned catepillar" and check them out - they can get to be 6-8". That is a huge bug.
They all can turn into butterflies or moths if they don't get themselves run over by playing in the road.
I'm glad you are liking the name - my parents liked it too!

Thanks!
I did read what I could find at that site, but still didn't understand what they said.
Maybe my body adjusted the size of my red blood cells and Hemoglobin because of my shortness of breath in order to get more oxygen to my body? When they did the check in stats on me my O2 level was at 98%. Any chance of that?
I tried one of the Vertigo pills tonight and so far haven't had any issues. It was kind of funny though. I'm suppose to chew them before sollowing them. They taste like those Sweet Tarts candy. :)
Oh by the way the nurses name is also Laura, that is quickly becoming one of my favorite names. :)
I was amazed when I saw those caterpillers on the road. I can't remember ever seeing one crossing a road in my entire life before.

You don't want your PLT to drop too low - spontaneous bleeding can occur - but that is down in the 50,000 range and not the 182,000 mark.
As for no deer, that's too bad but the caterpillars/floaters sound entertaining. I'm glad she adjusted your BP meds - maybe now it will get under control.
be well, Lu
