Little bit of Vent

I feel like such a klutz lately.  I drop things, I feel light-headed and dizzy, I miss steps and fall.  Tonight it was down our front steps outside.  I was holding my phone because Brooklyn needed to go babysit, so I was tracking her down.  I fell into the rocks on one side, my phone shattered on the rocks on the other side.  Bad Apple in Bountiful was still open, so it's repaired now.  This not functioning well is really bothering me.
I just pulled up side effects for all the drugs (over the counter or otherwise) I take.  All but one has possible side effects of dizziness, light headedness, drowsiness, feeling tired, vision problems . . . .  It's no wonder I can't function.

I'm trying several drugs to alleviate the itching all over my body.  The itching is an allergic reaction to Perjeta, one of my infusion drugs.  I look like a crazed person when I'm scratching my skin constantly, and I think I need to take something to help it, but at what cost??  I think I'm going to evaluate carefully what I'm taking and cut back as much as possible.  Itchiness be damned.
