Checking in
I discovered recently that I developed a bad reaction to one of the medications I've been on.
Every day for the past month I've felt like hammered dogshit. (no pun intended) That coupled with a nagging persistent cough that often made me pass out, I wasn't much in the mood for blogging.
Luckily, I figured it out on my own and have spent the last week or so recovering as that medicine leaves my system.
Now that I'm feeling better, I'll be back around to visit everyone.

holy crappe, hammer!
what was the med and its side effects?
i found out once i was allergic to some sulfa drug and ended up at the emergency room getting adrenalin shots to get it flushed from my liver - scary.
take care.
what doesn't kill you sometimes still makes you sicker then a dog....
sometimes I wonder if I'd feel better if I just stopped taking the litany of drugs I've been prescribed.
Glad you're feeling better Hammer.
Glad you got it lined out and all is better, hang in there
Sometimes (most of the time?), we really do know what is best for us! Glad you figured it out and thrilled that you'll be back!
You're BACK! I'm glad you got things figured out and hope you're feeling better for good.
So sorry you are feeling poorly. I do hope you are on the mend soon!
Summer is around the corner and the kids need entertaining!!
Feel better soon! My husband and I thought of you on our recent cruise. There was some artwork outside our stateroom that featured Hammers. It was kind of odd.
Modern medicine is wonderful BUT there are always side effects to deal with. Having seen my wife prescribed various medicines like a guinea pig and watched her suffer side effects, I know how terrible it can be. Eventually your doctor finds the right medicine for you but it's all trial and error. Meanwhile we should all research the medicine we take on the net and especially be aware of the possible side effects.
All the best in your recovery.
Glad you are feeling better hammer! Missed your special thought processes while you were away. ;o)
YAY and welcome back Hammer! Sheesh you've had one rotten time this year, medically.
Is the cough gone?
That's scary stuff Hammer! I'm glad you figured it out.

Glad to see your ions again..... get healthy!
"Modern" medicine, my ass. Glad to hear you're on the mend.
glad to hear you are feeling better.
I'm glad your are on the mend my friend.
Good thing you figured it out! I am glad you are back to normal...kinda missed you, ya know?
Glad to hear you are feeling better, and see, we waited for you!!
I'll add my "Glad you are feeling better" to the pile.
I learned the hard way about meds also. Damn Levequin (spelling?)
Glad you are back:)
holy hanna...I can sure relate to side affects from meds. Luckily mine are not as bad as yours.
Hope you feel better...glad to have you back. Blogland just isn't the same without you.
Thank God you figured it out and are recovering. It'll be nice to have you back in the blog world.
Some kinds of hammered are good. "Hammered dog shit" isn't one of those. Glad you're doin' better!
Hammer,
I am curious to see if you had gone to the doctors anytime between that spout of illness. If you did, you will have scared the shit out of me knowing that your self diagnosis is better than the professionals.

xxoo
Hope you're feeling much better! Look forward to seeing you back in the blog world.
It's just good to know that you're feeling better and discovered the allergy.
Here's hoping that the Family Hammer enjoys a blessed and safe Memorial Day weekend. Remembering your Father and all our Veterans...and never forgetting the Fallen.
Good to hear from you, Hammer.
Oh hammer I'm so glad your okay. Was wondering what was going on.
Glad to see you're back and hope all is now well, Hammer! Hope you're able to enjoy the weekend with your family.

Bless your heart. I'm glad you figured it out!
So glad you checked in with us before you checked out! Sheesh!!!!
:o)
I'm sorry to hear that you've had rough times Hammer. I'm glad that you're getting it hammered out (no pun intended here, either).
I warm and safe Memorial Day to you.
That doesn't sound fun. Feel better and looking forward to your posts!
You poor darling! You have to be so careful with your meds!
I hope you're well on the mend. Take good care of yourself-- it really hasn't been that long since your pneumonia.
Glad you're feeling better! I followed you here from SENSIBLE FOLKS, thanks for the recipe!
Happy Memorial Day, Hammer.
Well, I'm glad you figured it out and hope you continue to feel better. You're missed.
I've had meds like that. And I realize that sometimes it is better to listen to my body and myself, than the doc. Heh. Glad it it leaving your system.
Sounds like a reaction I had to Lisinopril, Hope you feel better real soon.
Get better, Ham...
We miss you.
Oooh Hammer, you have to take great care of yourself, I am happy to see you are feeling better and back on track. I missed you a lot.
Jeepers creepers, mate - you look after yourself. Take it easy.

hey there hammer,
i too hope you are feeling better. really excited about the meet. did you see that fathairybastard is coming? and maybe erica? and definitely drunken wisdom? not to mention a slew of blown eyes from both coasts. can not wait.
you get healthy, you'll need your strength! cu soon!!
You need to get drunk and laid. It's the only answer.
Take care of yourself!!! Glad you're ok...
Peace
Glad you are better!!
OKAY - LISTEN UP, PEOPLE!
i'm starting to get a little concerned about the hammer - he needs to let one of us know he's okay and soon.
of course, it is time for school to let out in most places.
HAMMMMMMMMMMMER?!?
Hope you recover soon and get in the mood!
i know the over-medicated feeling all too well. may your recovery continue to be quick and postive.
Damn dude, that's some scary stuff. I've been MIA for a while too and am touching basis with everyone again. Hope your doing well now.
Hope you killed the crud, dude. Get better, ya hear?
See you in Texas in about a month!
Maybe some of Dave's Insanity Sauce will help clear it up.
