I’d been thinking a lot lately of taking a few months break from this blog. The main reason is that after my glorious summer of trying to get healthy, I ironically was overcome with new and worsening health complications. I felt that I had no business writing about my experiences, because frankly, I didn’t (um… [...]
Wow – I’ve been gone from blog-land for a long time. First it was just because I was busy, then because I needed a break, then because I was avoiding it. Truth is, I kept waiting to start feeling better so I could write about my miraculous recovery… yeah, that hasn’t happened yet. Instead it [...]
Hurray! No disgusting pill aftertaste today! The weather here is fluctuating like crazy which means a lot of migraines for me. Just what I need. Monday night’s migraine had me vomiting for several hours of the wee morning. It really, really sucked. The only bright side: all the migraines since then have seemed almost pleasant [...]
I know I said I couldn’t post for awhile, but I happen to be filling time at the moment. So I thought I’d take the chance to tell you that my mouth tastes like I licked a dirty car-tire. The reason for this disgustingness is a mild side effect from a pill I took last [...]
I’ve been a little absent lately, and unfortunately will continue to be for awhile. I’m at the end of my semester of university, which means a plethora of work to complete. Additionally, I’m adjusting to new medications and just generally trying to curb the intense fluctuations of my moods and anxiety. So unfortunately, this blog [...]
I survived yesterday and all of the doctor’s appointments involved! (It was only two, but it felt like a lot) The gynaecologist appointment was basically just him asking me a lot of questions and looking at the results from the ultrasound. The ultrasound came back totally clear, which rules out a number of possible causes [...]
This morning I was 100% convinced that it was Tuesday. By this afternoon, I thought it was Thursday. Alas, still Monday… Methinks it is going to be a very long week… I haven’t been posting as often as I want to because I’ve been busy and exhausted. Either I’m not doing anything, or if I [...]
I’ve had a surprising number of people e-mail me to ask about the results of my ultrasound, so I’ll fill you in with what I know: nothing! Seriously though, I don’t know what the results were. Ultrasounds are done by ultrasound technicians, who are not allowed to tell you anything. They do the ultrasound and [...]
I’ll write about my ultrasound later (it was fine) when I have recovered some energy. I just wanted to do a quick post to give a shout out to my fabulous big sister (and her hubby and puppies) who sent me flowers today to cheer me up after this long, long week :)
I made it through my test today. It was, as I suspected, negative, which means that I am not lactose intolerant. I had already established this fact, but you know doctors, they like the scientific results. So, while the test was pointless for me, I’ll give you a rundown in case anyone else needs this [...]
