Still too sick to actually Go Out and Have Fun. No Halloween parties for me. Work took all my energy today, and tomorrow looks pretty similar. Was going to try to have a little party, cider and cookies, but had no energy to plan or clean. Seems like I've been sick forever, not just a couple of weeks.
Trying not to be down, it's all biochemical. Looking up side effects, found that antibiotic for sinus infection acts as a depressant according to the literature, and some of my meds are apparently competing with my other meds via an obscure enzymatic pathway. If they fight too hard, they can cause obscure arrhythmia events. Whee! Just two more days on the damn stuff. And my sinuses still hurt like crazy, so who knows what's next.
[Addendum: Ah, new factoid that explains much. Both the new CCB *and* the damn antibiotic have diuretic effects, which is why I'm getting dehydrated at the drop of a hat, nearly ended up with a saline bag again the other night but got enough gatorade and water down me to head it off. Did I mention THIS SUCKS yet?! And yeah, I'm whining, so there. Oh, and reading this doesn't cheer me wrt the damn CCB. I'm strongly tempted to punt the damn thing.]
[Oh, and for folks who've asked me over the years about the thyroid stuff, there's a new site out there, http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ that is very good. I've managed to discover a lot of their treatment protocols myself, probably ought to have blogged or written more about them. Will keep on fighting the good fight.]
