My massive spike in anxiety after discharge seems to have been caused by starting Metformin. A med my Rheumatologist prescribed me for energy despite the fact it is a diabetic med. I started it, stupidly, the day I came out of hospital as I had only been prescribed it just before I went IP. I wanted more energy. What I got was extreme anxiety. Unfortunately, it took me a week to connect the two. I stopped it last Friday. It has only been the last two days that I have noticed a significant decrease in anxiety. Hopefully, it will continue to ease as I came out of hospital feeling peaceful. I see my pdoc tomorrow so will be able to discuss this with him, and get scripts.

This morning I found a redback spider hiding in my kitchen. They are poisonous. Not deadly usually, but pack a nasty punch. I have been bitten before and was sick for days. So, this led me on a rampage through my flat hunting spiders. Thankfully, I found none. In doing this search I ended up dusting and cleaning my entire flat. I'm exhausted now, but satisfied with my organised, clean, and tidy home. Apart from food shopping that's me done for the day. I am still recovering from a Fibromyalgia flare-up.
