Whew hew- self diagnosis 2 weeks ago

Been having headache the last few days. Very odd. Small cough, not H1n1. Then this morning during the news the news gal was on the roof. Super bad VOG and she was having problems with her asthma, poor thing. I remembered then that I got really sick last bad VOG and doctor told me it was like an allergy. I thought she was wrong but I guess not. Same symptoms so I am trying an allergy med. Lucky I made the connection. Hope it’s right.



I wish 1 month ago

I wish my knee didn’t hurt.
I wish I had health insurance to I could see a doctor.
Or a therapist.
I wish I didn’t eat my way back to wishing I could lose 40lbs
Wish I knew what that pain I get every once in a while means.

Today I wish I had a new set of contact lenses and some nice clear bifocals.
I wish my sister, 10 years older and always correct, hadn’t given me such a graphic vision of where our DNA take us on cold winter mornings in my future.

Wish I could get off the couch, dance run and breath some life into my nutrient deprived cells.

Wish I was asleep.



iPhone thumb 3 months ago

My thumb got really sore on Saturday and I figured out that it was excessive use typing and shifting the screen.



still tired 5 months ago

Off work for the 2nd day. Went to the doctor and she said I was the 3rd person in this morning with the same symptoms. Bloodwork will be back on Monday. In the meantime, I’m napping more.



excessive travel tiredness 5 months ago

I slept most of the day yesterday and today. Traveling seems to make me much more tired than most people. I don’t have a temp so I’m pretty sure that I don’t have the flu. Its always this way for me after travels. It always takes at least one day so the second day is bothering me.



a cold hangs around my ankle like a attention starved child 7 months ago

The cold has settled in my chest. Its not congested, just sore.. I coughed enough at work to get sent home this morning. I’m resting now. Sleeping alot.



Colds that kill 7 months ago

I have a cold. It started with a runny nose and sneezing. Then magically in a few hours some invisible force filled my sinus cavity with some invisible dishtowel soaked in something caustic, or at least it felt like that. It hurt to touch me face. That was 2 days ago. I stayed in bed and rested but the rest only made it harder to sleep in the evening. So then I wished that I had some cold medicine that would knock me out. Woke, had coffee and showered yesterday and ventured in to work. I was a little off all day and left early. Stayed on the couch all night. Found the knock out meds and took the weekend off.



hot flashes suck 8 months ago

They might even suck more than cramps. Plus, everyone can’t relate. Even older women look at me and say, “Oh, I never HAD them” and the look down on me when they say it.

They really wake me up.

I really do have to change clothes.

I restarted the meds and they aren’t working so much this time.

The agony.



avoid vomiting 11 months ago

Our house has the flu. Daughter and 3 kids, all sick. I’m not going to barf. I feel like I will and everyone else is. Maybe I just should. I’m just having the achey feeling that you get prior to the actual vomiting. Probably going to be vomiting later in the day, so its probably better to just stay here and wait instead of going to work and infecting everyone there.



yay it feels so good 13 months ago

I dropped the 5lbs that has kept me at the same weight for the last 1 1/2 year. A little lump of tummy flab disappeared and I feel so good. It was the exercise, duuuuh. Adding exercise is what it really took. I’m getting really motivated.
