I get a strange magic,
oh, what a strange magic,
oh, it’s a strange magic.
Got a strange magic,
got a strange magic…I get a strange magic,
oh, what a strange magic,
oh, it’s a strange magic.
Got a strange magic,
got a strange magic…

My checkup went well. I am feeling better and getting out more. I finished the antibiotics so I am back on Hydrocortisone; I feel jittery and a bit anxious which are listed as possible side effects. My doctor lowered the dose because of insomnia so now I take it once a day in the mornings.

images111Anyone else out there get anxiety with a lot of muscle tension or teeth clenching?  Throughout the day I often feel my muscles have tensed and I try to relax but then soon after I find that I am tense again. It happens repetitively and I do not notice until I am tense again. In other words, I find myself having to check in with my body to relax. I do not want to start taking clonzepam again. I meditate each morning; some mornings are harder to relax than others.  I have also tried therapy (CBT) but I think it is something biological perhaps my sensitive (slightly out of whack) endocrine system.
