Eeeeks!
Posted Jun 6, 2001
Well, I'm back from a wonderful two months in America, where I rested lots, took lots of vitamins and herbs and tablets and things, and got to spend some great time with my partner.
So all in all, I'm feeling a lot better physically, and emotionally - though now I'm dealing with jetlag, and pining and missing my sweetie like all heck.
And yet another problem. I was just getting ready for bed tonight when some movement caught the corner of my eye. I thought 'that's one hell of a large spider' ... and then looked closer.
There, sitting looking at me, was a little brown mouse. It looked again, then twitched its tail, and ran away behind my cupboard.
*sigh*.
I did not need this. I feel all sorts of guilt and shame - I'm not the cleanest person ever, but I thought I kept my place reasonably tidy and clean - and here I am, harbouring mice. Plus I've been away for 2 months, there's not even BEEN any food or anything here.
So I've just finished vacuuming thoroughly, and I'll have to call the landlord in the morning and tell him.
*sigh* once more.

Depressed
Posted Mar 29, 2001
*sigh*.
The 
changed my meds again - dropped the anti depressant down by 37.5mg (how's that for precise?), and it seems to be having the wrong kind of effect. Going down from 225 to 150mg helped to lift the fatigue no end, and gave me more energy... dropping down to 112.5 just has made me insomniac and miserable.
I've not even been taking part in much here, and have been feeling sort of isolated too... I don't know how much is just readjusting to being back after Rupert, or how much is the depression, or how much is just my own stupid fault for not joining in the general 
ness with everyone else...
But to Ottox, and GB, and CHOPPERS, and the haiku-ers and especially SMoB....
... I'm sorry.

Health stuff.....

Well, it was back to the doctor yesterday. Another reduction in the Efexor, and more blood tests for diabetes and various immune diseases.. and I'm still functioning on 3/4 good days per week, and on the good days, I feel at about 65/70% of "normal" energy levels. Though after almost 3 months, it's hard to remember what normal is.
I hate this.
Thank goodness that h2g2's back...

It's back!!!
Posted Mar 14, 2001
Wow. Wow. Wow.
Back, and back for days before I even found out. *sniffle*.
Mind you, seeing as I'm still grappling with the tiredness, having maybe 3 or 4 good days per week, and the rest of them leaving me a sleepy exhausted mess (oh, no, hang on, that IS me in good state)....
PhD has been put on hold, though I'm trying to write up my thesis in small pieces on days when I can. The bad bit is that my grant has been stopped until I'm back at work, and I can't claim any benefits as long as I'm still a student. Not good.
But at least now I've got h2g2 again, and that's a Very Good Thing. Plus I got my ntlworld connection sorted out (that's /not/ advertising!) so I can connect 24/7 for free, and hang out here and post silly things to relieve my boredom.
Guess that's it...

So tiiiired

I hate this. I've been feeling tired, exhausted, drained and worn out for ages now.
I had a cough back in November, which developed into a cold by December. And now the cough's still around, and any activity leaves me flat on my back, completely shattered.
I went into work on Monday, (having had the whole of the previous week off) and paid for it - Tuesday, I couldn't get out of bed if I tried. I've rested today and am going to try for another day in tomorrow.
It's lousy timing. I've got PhD stuff that I need to be getting on with. That needs doing. Time's ticking away, and I want to get finished.
Bah. So I'm venting. Any words of comfort and consolation appreciated.
(Oh, and I do have a 's appointment for Monday at 10:20 (there, I can't forget it now.) so I am doing what I can to take care of myself.)
Alright, that'll do for now. *sigh*. Even being up and at the computer is tiring me.
