Feeling Better...Sort Of

Tweet

I thought I should probably give you guys an update on how I'm feeling since I reported on Tuesday night that I was having some kind of weird reaction (nausea, dizziness, lightheadedness, headache, and a funky chemical taste in my mouth) to the sclerotherapy I had performed on my varicose veins earlier that day. Well, as far as the weird symptoms go, I am fine. I don't know if it was actually a side effect to the injection, or if I just had a panic attack afterward. At any rate, I feel okay now. My leg sure is sore tonight though. I noticed the area where my visible varicose veins were is red and the veins are no longer visible. Which I am guessing must be normal since the injection was to cause those veins to collapse on themselves. Hopefully the area doesn't become inflamed -- I am keeping an eye on it in case it looks unusual and then I will call the vein specialist's office and ask if that's normal. They really didn't tell me what to expect afterwards. I hate when doctors do that. I'd like to know what to expect so I don't fret over every little thing. Anyway, other than that I am fine. And I am sure that is just a normal side effect from having the injection, so I am not going to worry about it unless it feels warm, inflamed, or otherwise "weird."
