Finding out the medication I am taking for my headaches has me causing me to be unsteady on my feet

I began my Wednesday morning at 7:00 a.m. by going out into the kitchen to have some peanut butter and honey on a toasted English muffin along with my fruit and hot cocoa of course. Once I had finished eating, I then had brushed my before riding for thirty minutes. After doing so I then preceded to do my weight exercises leg and then arm. To rap things up I then did my ankle exercises before stretching. At 8;45 I then took my shower thus getting ready my day. I then grabbed my lunch and my nap sack. United had arrived to bring me to Central Maine Medical Center for my therapy on my throat area to help with my swallowing. I had arrived there at 11:30. Nicole had taken me right in and hooked the connectors up to my throat. She then turned up the control so as to get more stimulation. I then started to swallow with my own saliva. After my treatment, United then picked me up to take me to Westside. Upon my arrival to Westside I had gone to the dining area to eat my lunch. Once I had finished eating I then went to the conference room for support group. Deb, Sam, Cammy, Dee Dee, and I first explained to scot what the group was about. We then checked in. Cammie had a stroke. found a brain tumor and had another stroke. Cammie likes to challenge her memory. She said she has a hard time with simple words. Question from Scott, How do you cope with losses? Scott had a stroke in January effecting his right side. Denise was in a bad car accident 1994. She has two kids and enjoy's horse back riding. Dee Dee then checked in has seizures and had a brain tumor. She said going to West Side has helped a great deal. Dee Dee is very crafty. Deb then checked in and spoke about acceptance. At 2:00 I then made my way downstairs to the gym. Amanda first had me ride the nu step for ten minutes. She then strapped the gate belt on and we took off walking outside for thirty minutes. Once we had returned to the gym she then had me doing stepping exercises in the parallel bars. At 3:00 I then went into the conference room for I Pad group. Nancy had come into the group to show us a program called Siri. You can talk into the I Pad and it will answer you back. Deb then helped me put in dates and schedule. At 4:00 United then took me home. I had arrived home at 5:00. Upon doing so I had taken my shower thus getting myself comfortable for the evening.
