He got the first injection yesterday around 11:00AM. The soreness hit on the way home up in his shoulder. Today the soreness in the arm was not as bad as it was yesterday when he got it. When he was sitting there for the 15-minute period around the 12-minute point he started getting dizzy and things started spinning. It subsided a little bit. He was anxious before he got it. He thought it was just coming off the anxiety he had before getting it. It subsided enough that he could get up and walk to the car. He went to the store and was still a little lightheaded, but not as bad as it had been. Today he was very, very dizzy. He has his eyes closed while on the phone. When he opens his eyes, everything was spinning. He had heart issues and migraine headaches. He was on a medication called Fioricet with Codeine. He took it at 2:40PM with the Xanax 1mg. It helped with the headache on the side of the head, but it didn't help with the headache on the top of the head. About 8:15PM the migraine started coming back. At 8:36PM he took Fioricet with Codeine, Xanax, and blood pressure medication, Enalapril. He was also on Cardia 240mg.
