If this started since the new drug routine then read all of the side effects and interactions and go from there. Can you return to the old regimen? The doctor was no help and this sounds like a dangerous way to move around the house and world outside (dizzy and foggy) then you have to be your own advocate.

I'm working out a list of places to go today, that will start with dropping board games at the library and then volunteering at the museum and end with loading up on a particularly good 85% dark chocolate with dried cranberries at the gourmet last chance store. A couple of small squares of that are enough to satisfy the snack impulse and it is said that dark chocolate improves your mood. It doesn't hurt and they have a good markdown. Tomorrow I have a tour at that museum so today I'll also walk through quickly to see if they've moved anything since I was there last week.

A modern conundrum has just crossed my desktop: an email with my newly calculated credit score (it's robust) has key factors listed that affect my score:
1) too many accounts with balances (I only have two - the credit union loan for the heat pump and my mortgage) because the credit cards are paid off every month. But there are only three of them so

2) too few accounts with recent payment information. Meaning if I would spend more money on more accounts they'd better be able to rate my score? Technically I have an account with a large computer manufacturing company in my state but I only use it when I buy a computer or printer, so, not often.

I paid my car insurance directly from the bank but this serves as a reminder to pay the home warranty insurance through a credit card to give it a little more activity (then pay it off that month with money saved in the bank for the home warranty policy). This is a small game that can be played with the banking community when one isn't ever going to be rich, you can at least appear to be responsible.
